Is Elvis Rolling Rocking in the Grave? Sunday Under Covers Featuring Mick Ronson

Posted almost 4 years ago
OK then. Yes, it is super-stylized. Modified with Bowie-esque chords changes and sidemen until you just might forget the genesis. So, right now you might be suffering some growing pains. Don't worry, I've been groovin' on this since I was growing up, and I'm fine.Mick Ronson's first solo outing was a spectacular set that attempted to propel him to the same orbit his boss occupied. Alas, it was not to be, but some spectacular booster rockets were left behind. This was the first stage, and the hope that many a young rocker would crave the classic cover was a misfire. Still, I'm not sure a more fitting companion could be found for Major Tom, as he drifts off into the uncharted cosmos.

  4. jerste says That one made me laugh.. a long long time ago. Dont remember much about Ronson solo work except something that sounded like "The Laughing Gnome" (a sixties song by Bowie) - may be Ronson's lullaby was called "Billy Porter".. Bowie-esque, well may be-why not.. Ronson-esque were Bowie's greatests an the alchemy was unique.

    Don't hear much of "Bowie-esqueness", to be honest. By the way, first one to change the original this curious way was not Ronno but Annette Peacock. Arrangements are really great.
