TheMan Who Sold The World by Oldrottenhead

[Oldrottenhead]

Lulu had a hit with this Bowie song in 1974. Thought I'd give it a go.

Anyway it is what it is.

Looks lke I'm the first to comment - that doesn't happen very often as I'm usually doing catch-up.

I always liked this song and this is a great cover with dreamy guitars and great vox (of course)

I had no idea Lulu had ever covered this - and that it was produced by Bowie, who also added saxophone and backing vocals to her version.

Nice job on this, James. I'm listening again with new ears!

[Hook]

Very cool brother.
Rock on!!

[Diego Ayala]

excellent arrangement, James ~ and the vocals are tops....  Yeah, I think many younger folks relate to this song's arr. by Nirvana w/out a 2nd thought...

Been away for a while due to many reasons so missed this Fest (as well as 4AD fest). Great to hear this track and I enjoyed hearing you singing it. Nice work as always.

I must be an old git because when I hear this track I think of Lulu rather than Nirvana........ Now I can add Jim to the list.
