RICHARD & LINDA THOMPSON/BLIND BOYS OF ALABAMA -"Dimming Of The Day": Original + Cover Side By Side!

Описание: It's A SPECIAL Season, And That Deserves A SPECIAL Program - Hell, They Are All Pretty Special, But An Original + Cover Side By Side! Is What The Silly Season Called For, And Only I Dared Answer The Call. I Enjoyed The Last One So Thoroughly It Was Time To Do It Again!
When You Have A God-Tier Composer/Performer With Such A Deep Catalogue As RICHARD THOMPSON (Have I Mentioned That I Really Like This Guy?), Naturally, Many Bands Will Beat Down The Doors To Cover The Master's Works, And Perhaps Bask In Some Of The Great-Man's Glory.
I Pulled "Dimming Of The Day/Dargai" From The RICHARD THOMPSON Box Set "Walking On A Wire: The Songs Of Richard Thompson 1968 - 2009", Which Is From RT's Period With LINDA THOMPSON In The 1970s. This Particular Track Is From 1975.
THE BLIND BOYS OF ALABAMA (Alternately, THE FIVE BLIND BOYS OF ALABAMA, And CLARENCE FOUNTAIN AND THE BLIND BOYS OF ALABAMA) Is An American Gospel & Blues Group. The Group Was Founded In 1939 In Talledega, Alabama, And Has Featured A Shifting Roster Of Musicians Over Its Long History, The Majority Of Whom Were Blind.
TBBOA Found Mainstream Success Following Their Appearance In The 1983 Obie-Award Winning Musical, "The Gospel At Colonus." Since Then, The Group Has Toured Internationally And Have Recorded & Performed With Such Prestige Acts As PRINCE, LOU REED, PETER GABRIEL, BONNIE RAITT, BEN HARPER, BON IVER, And AMADOU & MARIAM. The Group's Cover Of The TOM WAITS Song, "Way Down In The Hole" Was Used As The Theme Song For The First Season Of The Acclaimed HBO Series, "The Wire."
THE BLIND BOYS OF ALABAMA Have Seventy-Four Studio Albums, And Are Featured Guests On Ten Other Albums By Various Artists.
I Pulled THE BLIND BOYS OF ALABAMA Cover Of RT's "The Dimming Of The Day" From The 1994 Tribute Album, "Beat The Retreat (Songs By Richard Thompson)" In Which Starstruck Musicians Try To Do The Maestro Right.
