This is exactly what a cover should be - different enough to stand on it’s own, while still 100% honoring the original and capturing the essence of what makes the song great. These guys killed it!

I was at one time a LOVE fanatic- and I say that they pretty well nailed it, one has to realize it takes a semi orchestra to pull it off- the trumpeter is beautiful- but mainly they captured the essence of McClean's calypso sound- which btw he picked up from his mother- who fooled around with The spanish dance. ". A bit BLARING perhaps- but again LIVE!!I read the drummer's tale of the band. Drugs were their undoing, Arthur Lee for HAVING A GUN" they put in the slammer- ridiculous- The drummer's most infamous line? THE BAND SHOULD HAVE BEEN CALLED HATE!! Huge on the LA scene, where their name is on the plaque of the Whisky-a go-go- started by the most prolific cover artist (and some fine songs of his own, namely Johnny rivers who Packed the place every night for his contract of six months. Rivers is the greatest IMO cover artist, as he had the wrecking crew behind him, however his more mature stuff in the 70's forgotten. Listen to his ""pet sounds" called REALIZATION>Lastly at 75 he is entering his 6th decade. The loner., mystery man.
