I caught some Black Sabbath biography while flipping around the cable channels this weekend and consequently spent some time with Sabbath’s Vol.4 CD in the aftermath. “Changes” seems so out of line for band like Sabbath but it’s a fantastic song and I pictured it being covered a number of different ways – alt.country, with a big choir, etc. Did a quick search on YouTube and discovered that The Cardigans did a really great version of the song that I’m going to have to see if I can track down as an MP3. Also found out that Sabbath supposedly only played the song live once while Ozzy was in the band so there is no video footage of it. I settled on a more recent version of Ozzy doing the song.
Ozzy Osbourne – “Changes”
The Cardigans – “Changes”
chip – stumbled across your name while reading a review for a friend’s show at donewaiting.com… listened to a bit of your brothers meat puppets review. nice.
i may have this cardigans cover in .mp3 form. i know i have their ‘iron man’ cover and since i’d often get *.* from various share sites, it may be buried somewhere…
i’ll throw one out there for your cover section – dinosaur jr. has a new offering out in a few weeks; they often cover ‘just like heaven’ in concert: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ikf69Q7zosg
I “found” an MP3 of the Cardigans cover. Thanks for the “Just Like Heaven” suggestion – I’ll put it up on Monday. Have you heard the new Dinosaur Jr. CD yet?
i haven’t heard the entire CD, but sirius has two songs in heavy rotation; both are strong. very straight-forward and unapologetic.
i recall once upon a time hearing the meat puppets reference townes van zandt, who is covered quite a bit by steve earle (the current kick i’m on). may not be your thing, but check it out – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p4WOys7sWvU
