{Cover Songs} Feeling Good (Anthony Newley & Leslie Bricusse) by Various Artists

GreasepaintLP

"Feeling Good" (aka Feelin' Good) is a song written by Anthony Newley and Leslie Bricusse for the 1965 musical The Roar of the Greasepaint—the Smell of the Crowd and since covered by many artists, including Nina Simone, Sammy Davis Jr., Traffic, Eels, Michael Bublé, The Pussycat Dolls, My Brightest Diamond, Muse, George Michael, Joe Bonamassa, John Barrowman, Adam Lambert, John Coltrane, David Hasselhoff, and Toše Proeski.” – Wikipedia

 

This must be one of the most covered songs of all time!

I actually heard Nina Simone & Muse’s version from my IPod on random rotation while traveling on the bus today…my IPod has over 16000 songs what are the odds of that?!!

Artioli Designs Voice Capo

 

artioli-voice-storypic

“The Voice currently holds the title of world’s first true chord-forming capo. Using the Voice, you can create chords and arpeggios not possible before, by simply placing the device over the first four frets of a guitar. Like an extra set of fingers, the device holds down the positions that you normally would, freeing up your fingering hand and in turn letting you create and accentuate custom chords on top of what the Voice is holding down.

In addition, the Voice helps beginning guitarists learn how to read tablature and recognize chord sounds by allowing them to form chords that their small or unpracticed hands may not yet be ready to form. Likewise, more experienced guitarists can advance their skills further by using the Voice to form a chord while they practice scales in a specified key.

The Voice capo fits all standard-sized acoustic guitar necks (1 and 3/4-inch and 1 and 11/16-inch) and all guitar necks between 1.65 and 1.8 inches.” ~Gearwire.com

Interesting idea, have a feeling it wouldn’t get big though..,

Halestorm

 

Halestorm is a Hard Rock band from the US, they released their debut album earlier this year, pretty straight-forward catchy rock songs.

Halestorm unleashes a turbulent torrent of infectious hard rock on their self-titled Atlantic debut. The band-guitarist Joe Hottinger, bassist Josh Smith, drummer Arejay Hale and singer/guitarist Lzzy Hale-churn out uncompromising rock n' roll anthems. Drawing from an arsenal of songs that she's penned since she was 13, Lzzy examines love and life on the edge. “  ~ http://www.halestormrocks.com

Lzzy Hale isn’t just HOT, she’s got a pretty Crazy voice!!
