Because This Must Be The Place - Last Night

Because This Must Be The Place - Late Night. The late night mood has evolved into a theme of versions. The last several tracks of the previous mix were covers or alternate versions of well known songs and ended with George Harrison's Version Two of Isn't It A Pity.

This sixth mix in the series starts off with the angelic harmony voices of The Beatles singing Because without the well known keyboard accompaniment. All the songs on this mix are either covers of songs by other artists or alternative versions of songs by the original artist or songwriter. Frank Black does a weird version of his Pixies song Where Is My Mind?. Perry Farrell doing Led Zeppelin. The Cure doing Hendrix. Damien Rice doing Prince.  Lots going on here.

The last few songs hark back to the angelic voices with the Ray Davies classic Waterloo Sunset done with a choral backup followed by a Beach Boys 1967 rehearsal session of God Only Knows. The closer is from the wonderful acappella group The Persuasions covering a Grateful Dead song.
