badfinger w/matthew sweet - baby blue (studio-2020) in fact, it's a week old :)

Some may remember this song from their 1971 record Straight Up, others from the closing scene of Breaking Bad.

Anyways, it's a pretty cool re-recording of the classic track.

1. Love Mathew Sweet

Great to hear this.

[Ohiogal]

2. I do indeed remember the original from 1971

I’m not averse to covers or re-recordings of great songs

But in this case I prefer the original

4. Hence my 'it's pretty cool' comment as opposed my usual 'you really need to hear this'

sort of accolades when I post a tune

It's 49 years later ... and only one dude (the singer) from Badfinger is still alive apparently.

3. It's good, it's doable, but yes, I prefer the original too. This one's unnecessarily tricked out in

places where it doesn’t need to be

5. Big Matthew Sweet fan here. Nice fresh take on a great song.

6. Doesn't hold a candle to the original version

From an avowed Matthew Sweet fan, no less. Thanks for the heads up. Music is an important factor in maintaining my sanity, lol.

7. Speaking of Badfinger....

I had a thread with a lot of tunes just over a month ago:

Fri Apr 24, 2020: On this day, April 24, 1975, Pete Ham of Badfinger committed suicide.
