Being a connoisseur of weird song covers, it's pretty hard to faze me with "Did you hear that they slammed X into genre Y?"

That being said, nothing prepared me for Erasure putting out a live album full of country covers of their own songs.

If you're a child of the 80s, you will find this both disturbing and awesome. It was only due to my chair having arms that I didn't fall out of it while listening to "Chains Of Love".

Erasure - On The Road To Nashville.

You know there's a new Shatner album too, right?

OH GOD THAT'S EPIC.

SO MANY TIMES I have found myself listening to "Chains of Love" and thought "Y'know what this needs? BANJO."

It's amazing to me how clear Andy Bell's voice still is. And, yes, those covers sound damn good, which ought to be surprising, but upon listening, isn't.

Actually I can see that transferring well, especially for "A Little Respect".

You have heard Paul Anka's "Rock Swings", right?

I have both of Paul Anka's rock cover albums. They are all sorts of awesome. His cover of Jump as a big band call and response number is just grand.

Oh, this is good to know, thanks!

(And if you're unaware of it, there's a rather nifty countrification of Pink Floyd's The Wall, done by Luther Wright and the Wrongs.)
