'Avalon' - Greeny for RoxyFest

[Blooby]

It's like you can channel several different voices at your will. You are the real deal.

Really brilliant cover...sounds so flipping good

It will come as no surprise that I am more a fan of early Roxy than the later lounge lizard stuff, but I still quite enjoyed Avalon when it came out. So it was a pleasure to listen to this and hear that you gave it a bit of a Greeny twist. The guitar led arrangement works really well (great sounds in there) and the bass is absolutely standout, it uses the space in the arrangement so well. Mind you, it's the vocals that make this for me. You really performed this superbly, a bit like Ferry but with your own take. Superb feeling and control throughout, beautifully done. Loved it.

what a great cover of this song! ...the level is so good now in SC that one does not know any more which superlative to use
frankly it's been a long time since I heard a bad version on SC
Greeny you are one of the spearheads of this wonderful site

I kind of missed the earlier Roxy stuff and their later songs didn't really do it for the teenage anarcho-punk I liked to imagine myself as at the time. I now feel if I'd invested the time I would have been a lifelong fan, and it is true that many of my core bands site RM as influences.

My point being that listening to (and making) these fest covers has been a special pleasure and has opened my eyes to much I missed and also made me reappraise my own tastes and attitudes.

And masterclasses like your version here, Tim, bring both joy and insight to this process.
