MP3 of the Week

Earlier this week, we were hanging out with some friends at their house on Shelter Island.

Our friend is a great guitar, banjo, mandolin player and he had another friend who can sing like no get out.

They got going after dinner and did a fantastic rendition of The Everly Brothers' "Love Hurts".

When I was a teenager, I didn't know this song was an Everly Brothers' song.

The rendition of this song I heard first and loved was from a band called Nazareth. I still can't get enough of that song.

But Gram Parsons and Emmy Lou Harris do a version that was clearly the inspiration for the version that our friends played last week.

So I am going with that one as my MP3 of the Week.

Love Hurts is one of the most impossibly hard songs to sing, the range is extreme, great song though. Remember taking me to see Nazareth in D.C. in 79?
