That song title might sound familiar to you and if you’ve been reading this site for the last couple of months or so then you’ve probably even seen it on here. That’s because it’s a cover of the always excellent L.A. band The Delta Mirror.
I posted about The Shimmies back at the start of July and mentioned back then that they have a pretty good relationship with The Delta Mirror, two of the guys from the band guest-vocalarisering on The Delta Mirror’s “He Was Worse Than The Needle He Gave You”, and now they’re covering them. You can hear the original version over hither and listen to The Shimmies’ rendition below. The Shimmies take The Delta’s atmospheric and electronic original to a rousing and more vocal-harmonising level, the way covers should be; different from the original.
