Have been listening to K.D Lang “Hymns of the 49th Parallel” today. It is a cd in Elins collection, I guess I would never had bought it, but now I would, but don’t need. She sings very beautiful covers of well known songs of among others Neil Young and Leonard Cohen. The Cohen cover is Hallelujah, a version sung much, much better than the Norwegian “Gitarkameratene”. Unlike them she does not try to imitate Cohen, but make her own version of the song. Just like Johnny Cash doing a cover of Hurt by Nine Inch Nails, it still Hurts…but it ain’t NIN’s version…

Gitarkameratene sucks, or sucked…
