New cover - The Black Keys' "Sister"
I've done it again - another cover!
Its the Black Keys this time - the track is "Sister" off their new album El Camino.
My strategy was thus:
- Watch the late 2011 album release schedule for bands that I half-way admire: CHECK!
- Pick a song from said album that is not yet a single but seems likely to be one. This gives me time to produce a cover that may hit at the same time the single is released - CHECK!
- Record cover - recording the process to also economically produce a video - CHECK!
- Hits, Views, Fame!!!! - check?
Meh - so I may have fouled up this time. Sister, though a very cool song, isn't likely to chart any time soon. Thus, though this cover will surely get me more cred than I have now from the indie blog community - the hits and fame stuff will probably have to wait until next time. Oh well - it was fun and easy so I'll keep trying until I hit it.
Stay tuned for the next one in the emerging cover album "Other People's Music". Once this one is done I'll be back to head-destroying angsty prog rock....
