Customer Reviews
Top covers
Brian knows his stuff, and plays excellent cover versions of songs we know and some songs we don’t (and that doesn’t matter because the version Brian plays is good anyway). Well done indeed!
Sublime
I've long been fascinated by cover versions, and Brian instinctively understands that the most interesting overs are the ones that take the original and turn it on its head. The boy band strategy of covering a 70s classic note for note is pointless and redundant, it's people like Richard Cheese (who I discovered through Coverville) that are really interesting.
Well researched, well presented, well done!!!!.
