Cover of the Week - 10/13/06

"I Want You To Want Me" by Cheap Trick

So as you may or may not know or care, my life has been slightly more busy than normal. I got a full-time day-job again after not being employed for about 4 months (good times), I recently closed on a house with my wonderful wife Kim and we just spent two consecutive weekends on the east coast playing shows with some incredible bands and people. One of those awesome people is Megan Palmer who I recorded this cover with today. The song was her choice and It's a classic; It has everything I love in a well-written song. I think she had been covering it at her live shows and Robert suggested that we get together and make a recording of it and I couldn't be happier with the results. Megan sings and plays violin and my good friend Matt Duckworth added some electric guitar as well. This is really the first collaboration that has actually come to fruition with my 52 weeks project and so it's very special to me. Something equally as special is that Megan Palmer is going to be performing at my CD release event this saturday (tomorrow? yikes!) at Little Brothers here in Columbus OHIO. My friend Matt will be joining me as well along with several other local superstar musicians. I am very excited about this show. Please go check out Megan's site and buy her wonderful album on Sunken Treasure Records here:
