So on the previous episode we talked a lot about how there are cover songs that are so good they not only eclipse the original version, but they end up becoming a defining song from that artist's entire career, the artist who covers the song for for their career.
And I want to play one of those, another example of one of those.
The song is me and Bobby McGee.
Here is the original version.
It was written and performed by Chris Christofferson from his self-titled album in 1970.
So Chris Christofferson doing his song Me Bobby McGee, the cover and the version that I think a lot of people
If not most people think of first, is by Janice Joplin from her album Pearl that came out in nineteen seventy one.
It really needs flat groove.
Yeah.
Yeah, it really does.
I mean the Chris Christofferson version is it's kinda weary.
Hers is just so freewheeling.
It has this whole sort of come what may, we're just gonna follow this road wherever it takes us.
Just be free man kind of vibe to it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's sort of like Mad World we talked about.
When people cover that song, no one's covering the original version anymore.
They're covering the Gary Jewell's version of that song.
I don't agree.
