Tracy Chapman's debut album is a classic that was an unlikely album to connect with a young dirtbag rocker kid from Granite Falls, Washington. But, it did. This song in particular resonated with me. A few years later Thelonius Monster covered it in their own rag tag rock 'n roll way and I loved it all over again. Here, Couch Riffs takes a left turn and gives this song a twist with some sitar, harmonium and upright bass. Expect more of this kind of reimagining from us in the coming months! its super fun.
Please allow me to introduce the amazing Couch Riffs band for this performance. They knocked it out of the park.
