Cant find my way home Yvonne Ellimanhttps://youtu.be/VtupyJw_dn0Lovely version and that harp solo is the very talented Marcella Detroit (of Shakespear's Sister fame and also backing singer for everyone from the 70s and a great songwriter in her own right).
I've never heard this before until Steve Lamacq played this on the radio yesterday. Can't quite make up my mind but I think I like it... Certainly a bit different to the original!This Flight Tonight - Nazarethhttps://youtu.be/ylW6sC6NNhY

Heard this on Lauren Laverne's 6music show this morning - a nicely done cover of Big Star's Thirteen by Bedouine, Hurray for the Riff Raff and Waxahatchee.https://youtu.be/8pXuiZnUheEThirteen is one of my all-time favourite songs so a cover has to be pretty good to impress me. I really like the blend of different voices - nice contrast when they're singing individually, and lovely harmonies when together.

Individually they are brilliant; together they are magic.
