The Queen is 25

Near the end of October I was asked to contribute a track to The Cover Lovers (a cover song blog) tribute album for The Smiths’ “The Queen is Dead”. I tried my hand at “The Boy With The Thorn In His Side”. It’s not my favorite Smiths song, but taking the time to deconstruct the original and find a way to make it my own gave me a new appreciation for it. There are some great renditions of these classics in this batch. Enjoy.

You can download all the tracks from the tribute via the blog: http://thecoverlovers.blogspot.com/2011/11/queen-is-25.html
