My Baby Just Cares for Me

This song is Nina Simone's signature tune, however, it was originally penned by Walter Donaldson with lyrics by Gus Kahn in 1930 for a movie entitled "Whoopee!" I do label this as a Nina Simone song as my inspiration comes from her recording.

If you happen to like my version, I highly recommend Nina Simone's recording. Her voice is absolutely immaculate and transforms this song's simple melody and lyrics into something indescribable. Such is the power of music :D

Everyday

'Everyday' was written by Buddy Holly and Norman Petty in 1957. The song was the B side to 'Peggy Sue'.

Crying Time

Made famous by Ray Charles, 'Crying Time' was originally written and recorded by Buck Owens on the B side of his 45 single 'I've Got a Tiger by the Tail' in 1964.

Eloise

This is dedicated to Sam who requested I cover this song. Enjoy :D

When Sam first requested this, I had never heard of the band Say Anything, so of course I had never heard the song 'Eloise'. In the original, the bridge is actually passionately spoken rather than sang. I don't do speaking over music. It makes me feel silly. So instead I had to breakdown the bridge using a different strum pattern and essentially work out a different melody for the lyrics. I omitted some words but not enough to structurally damage the song in its entirety nor the message being relayed to the listener.

Say Anything recorded 'Eloise' on their 2009 self-titled album.

Life on Mars?

I'd like to dedicate this song to my husband, Chaz who requested I record this. Enjoy :-)

The original was penned and performed by David Bowie on his 1971 album "Hunk Dory"
