If you are not hip to the Greta Van Fleet scene, these four young men from Frankenmuth, Michigan are the latest band to be duly designated as the saviors of Rock and Roll. With a sound that soars somewhere between Black Sabbath, Bad Company, and Led Zeppelin, these guys are masters of throwback ’70s heavy riffage rock and wear the crown quite proudly. The band announced themselves in 2017 with a couple of smokin’ EPs that came together with From the Fires, a set that featured the hit “Highway Tune,” a song that hit number one on the mainstream rock radio charts. For what that is worth. Currently touring the country in mostly sold-out House of Blues sized venues with the Robert Plant worthy wail of Josh Kiszka as frontman, these guys should be poised to be the next big thing.  Unless of course, they aren’t.

Aretha Franklin is the Queen of Soul. Her legacy speaks for itself: 18 Grammy Awards, the first woman inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and the creator of one of the greatest covers of all time with her version of Otis Redding’s “Respect.” At age 72, and despite recent health issues, she’s still an amazing vocalist.  So anticipation for her first album in 3 years, Aretha Franklin Sings the Great Diva Classics due out October 21st, is understandably high. The album will cover classics by Etta James, The Supremes, and Gladys Night, as well as newer tracks by Alicia Keys and the first released single, Adele‘s “Rolling in the Deep.” Continue reading »

Few musicians (if any) have re-defined the technique of their instrument the way Jake Shimabukuro has with his revolutionary ukulele arrangements. He introduced himself to the world when his technically-ambitious reworking of The Beatles’ “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” hit YouTube in 2006, and he has continued to release a steady stream of equally impressive covers and originals since. Inspired by Adele‘s Grammy sweep, Jake recently brought his unique style to her massive single “Rolling In The Deep,” which he performed recently in an exclusive for Perez Hilton’s website.

As catchy as Adele’s “Rolling In The Deep” is, most people cannot but cringe a bit when they hear the inescapable tune on the radio for the third time in one hour. Even here at Cover Me, we have heard everyone from Patti Smith to Linkin Park put their own spin on it. Fortunately, Philadelphia’s Work Drugs blend the Top 40 juggernaut into their self-described “smooth-fi” sound, making it nearly unrecognizable. Continue reading »

Nu-metal titans Linkin Park take a lot of flack, most of it entirely deserved. When we saw they covered Adele’s breakout smash “Rolling in the Deep” at London’s iTunes Festival over the weekend, we got ready to laugh. Would it be a rap-rock atrocity? A techno-laced shredder? None of the above. In fact, it’s what we expected least of all: good. Continue reading »
