"Bony Moronie" Geir covers Larry Williams

[Geir]

This is Rock'n'Roll for me


I first heard it by John Lennon (no surprise there).

But this is THE one song I had to do for the 50s r'n'r fest


hope to get time to do more .....


Done very quickly ... all recorded on the BR800 ! no piePads for this one

[Hook]

That's Rock n roll brother. I had completely forgotten about this song and it brought a huge smile to my face thank you. Rock on!

I first heard it by John Lennon

Me too! On his "Rock 'n' Roll" album which I bought in 1975.

Great cover of a great song.

Bra! bro.

Loved it! I really like how you rearranged it, compared to the version on Lennon's album, which was also rearranged compared to the original. The guitars on your version sound a bit glam-rock (T. Rex, specifically) to my ear, and your vocals are a treat, as usual.

I also bought Lennon's 'Rock 'n' Roll' album back in 1975 (one of my first LP purchases, from money earned on my paper route) - but I can't remember if I had heard the original by Larry Williams before then or not (it's possible - my dad had a few oldies collection LPs, and he listened to oldies radio stations frequently). I know I played Lennon's 'Rock 'n' Roll' a lot. I may even still have the LP?

On my second play now, and digging it even more!

Brilliant Geir, Real Rock'n'Roll.
Good to hear you again.......

D'you know I was just having that exact thought myself.

Great work Geir, cool performance.
