But in general he's stuck to his own material and I can't think of any notable cover he's ever done. The notable excpetion being his Christmas CDs of course.) But he has a great swaggering voice -- like Tom Jones to a degree -- and it'll be really interesting to hear him do other people's stuff. Diamond doing Dylan, say? "Lay Lady lay" would be too easy -- maybe "Don't Think Twice, It's Alright" or "If You See Her, Say Hello."Michael in New Yorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01449933463450154603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20710455.post-1165078507084825542006-12-02T11:55:00.000-05:002006-12-02T11:55:00.000-05:0012 Songs is a great album (still listening to it a...12 Songs is a great album (still listening to it a year later) so the next one should be interesting.<BR/>I wonder what covers will Rick get Neil to do.Some NIN perhaps?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
