The Gourds - "Gin & Juice"
Cover of Snoop Dogg's "Gin & Juice"
The Gourds - Gin & Juice (Snoop Dogg cover) - Part I of II
This is the Gourds covering Snoop Dogg's "Gin & Juice". Recorded at Bumbershoot in Seattle, WA on September 1st 2007. It gets muffly on the louder parts, I was pretty close to the speakers, but all in all a nice capture of the performance. I had to split it for Youtube as the song is a staggering 12 minutes long (shaking towards the end of the video = my arm getting tired). The Gourds are incredible. I love this cover of classic Snoop D Oh Double Gee.

What is a cover version?
In popular music, a cover version, or simply cover, is a new rendition (performance or recording) of a previously recorded, commercially released song or popular song. In its current use, it can sometimes have a pejorative meaning?implying that the original recording should be regarded as the definitive version, usually in the sense of an "authentic" rendition, and all others are merely lesser competitors, alternatives or tributes (no matter how popular). However, Billboard?and other magazines recording the popularity of the musical artists and hit tunes?originally measured the sales success of the published tune, not just recordings of it, or later the airplay that it also managed to achieve. In that context, the greater the number of cover versions, the more successful the song.http://museum.woolworths.co.uk/1950s-embassyrecords.htm
Typically, artists and record companies are not directly compensated when other musicians perform covers, revivals or contemporary versions. Contemporary versions of older tunes have been always particularly popular among nascent musical acts as they are often used to strategically position well-known music between less popular "originals" by the artist(s), such as with "Who's Sorry Now?", "Blue Moon", "Twist and Shout", and "Not Fade Away".

- Great lens idea! And it starts off with my hometown band - the Gourds play all the time here, in a neighborhood TexMex restaurant/music venue (Jovita's) just down the road from my house. 5*s
