Best Dax Cover?

Shun me.

I haven't as well. and I can only assume liatm hasn't either.

His Henry McCullough cover "Failed Christian" was pretty awesome, but then again, so are all of his covers......

indeed   

the Mother of Earth cover rules too

Any song Dax covers is his best cover in my opinion! But I want to ask you if you knew about the 30 Century Man cover, that seems to have been released in a tribute album to Scott Walker last year   

It's the 2nd to the last song on the album, I like it but I don't remember hearing it before:

You can add me to that list too. And I'm guessing, the same would go for Sickure.

also kleft.
but I'm not sure if board members who rarely posted at the circus and never post here count.

I wonder how Kleft is doing. Hopefully he's still happy in Canada with his lady.

he's in fucking canda? since when?

Isn't that where he went? I bet Pearls remembers. It's been a few years now. He went somewhere and met a chick and he seemed pretty happy. I thought it was in Canada.

I think he's Irish.

Pearls confirmed that he went to Canada, and was engaged to a Canadian chick. She hasn't heard from him a few years, so no telling where he is now.

Now that's where you're wrong! I have indeed met the man when I crossed the Atlantic back in 2006. I even spent a night at Sean's house. He was the keyboardplayer at the time. Here's a pic of Dax showing his love for me. You may also recognize Jen & Kevin (aka Entropy).

 

I was there that night.

"Aeroplane Over The Sea", "Smokin' Too Long", and "My Condition" are up there. But THE KILL for me is "Our Mother The Mountain". Haven't caught it live(yet), but the next best thing is that Spanish Moon '07 recording. PURE MAJICK...

And he's incredibly personable, when not being pestered by youthful newbies(ACID BATH RULZ!!). Since '93ish, probably chatted w/ him a half dozen times(NEVER approaching him!), usually about music(he'd just purchased the 1st ELO album in ATL in '10(?)) and his artistic influences. Although godlike to most of us, alas, he's just a dude. Take the plunge, y'all!

Has this been released on CD / LP or just digitally??

Seems released, but only as an MP3 album.
(Amazon for example: http://www.amazon.com/Songs-Montague-Terrace-Tribute-Walker/dp/B00HEZYI2K )

Worst: I heard a live version once of Deadboy doing "Wave of Mutilation" by Pixies and it was horrible. Can't remember which show it was from.

I like all covers, but this one more  Just heard it a few days ago!!!

would you fucks stop talking about dax covers? this thread is obviously about kleft.

 

It's hard to pick just one but if a gun was held to my head and I had to decide I'd have to pick Tower of Song.

The "Born with a gift of a golden voice" line gets me every time.

This cover is among my top favorite.
