Great Covers of our Songs – click on MUSIC and scroll down past our cds.

Posted November 28th, 2009 by Anna

Here are some well-known and some not so well-known covers of our songs from over the years. Because these are women’s works they tend to appeal more to women artists but occasionaly a brave man has dared to take-on a song and the resulting version is always very interesting. We will keep adding links as we find them.

    I have many McGarrigle cover recordings that I’d be happy to electronically share – just say the word, along with the best way to do so (even if it’s just e-mailing an mp3 at a time). I’ll forgo an initial deluge of a list, but a couple such items of note: (1) a Greek-language version of “The Work Song,” and (2) 5 additional covers of “Heart Like A Wheel,” including the one by the group McKendree Spring. That version, from the album “McKendree Spring 3″ (and titled “Heart Is Like A Wheel”), came out in 1972 – at least here in the U.S. – possibly making it the 1st McGarrigle-connected recording of any kind to appear on record.

    Nana Mouskouri covered \On my way to town\ (she sang it in English) in an album titled \I’ll Remember You.\ I found it a while back on iTunes.

    Reflecting fondly on Kate for some wonderful memories.

    Try listening to ‘Dancing in the Midnight Sun’ by April it sounds exactly like Complainte pour Ste-Catherine to me. You can listen to it on itunes – maybe they acknowledge true authorship on the sleeve notes- I hope so. Also interesting version of the same song by Kevin Roth on Dulcimer Man
