‘All Down the Line’ is one of the greatest songs on one of The Rolling Stones’ greatest albums, Exile On Main Street. It bursts with the energy and attitude of all their best work.
This was the first track recorded for Exile On Main Street and Mick’s pick as the first single, though he was overruled when the band went with ‘Tumbling Dice‘ instead.
In addition to their fine vocal performances, the lads of Superfruit impress me with their embrace of absurdity.
It’s one thing to perform the full Broadway version of Wicked‘s ‘Defying Gravity’ and quite another to do so in a blonde wig (for Scott) and green face paint (for Mitch). That’s commitment.
The two male vocal leads from Pentatonix, Mitch Grassi and Scott Hoying, produce a YouTube side project called Superfruit in which they crack wise on camera and deliver some pretty amazing songs.
A couple of weeks ago I linked to their performance of the Frozen soundtrack, with fellow Pentatonix member Kirstie Maldonado in support.
Postmodern Jukebox is swell, but my favorite internet sensation cover band remains Pentatonix, the a capella quintet that won The Sing-Off two seasons ago.
Their insane voice talent and gift for song arrangement make every one of their clips a treat from start to finish.
Here’s another entry from Postmodern Jukebox, a New Orleans jazz version of Guns N’ Roses’ ‘Sweet Child O’ Mine.’
This might be my favorite clip of theirs yet, because I love that New Orleans sound, the singer (Miche Braden) has a wonderful voice and it’s so completely unexpected.
