‹ Red Band Trailer for Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly in Step Brothers •
Sunday Music Spotlight alum José González is known for his covers. He has a way of taking someone else’s song and making it distinctively his own. His cover of Massive Attack’s “Teardrop” (which some of you may know as the theme song for House is a perfect example. It retains enough of the original to be recognizable, but González puts his own spartan stamp on it.
Another good example is this cover of Kylie Minogue’s “Hand on Your Heart”. He manages to take a syrupy pop song and make it heartfelt and genuine.
On a slightly different note, José has just announced his upcoming tour schedule. If he’s coming anywhere near you don’t hesitate to go see him.
