I think cover albums are really interesting. I think one artist being so influenced by another is an extremely humbling, but on the other hand, being someone who is so interested in two separate sounds and wants to fuse them into something new...that's awesome. In class we talked about all the mixes that came out of Jay-Z's Black album. THERE ARE SO MANY. Off of one album...
I think music is a community. People all do their own thing, but their sound was definitely influenced by someone else, or a combination of thing's they've heard. Everything is unique in a beautiful way, but the history and lineage of music is so easily traceable...and that's timeless and precious.
