More covers, and Elbow did a nice cover of Amy Winehouse track 'Back To Black' for Jo Whiley's Radio 1 Live Lounge this week and it involved some strings. I like strings and I like 'Back To Black', so I was probably bound to like it.
Anyway, the band's Guy Garvey had some nice words to say about the singer, and the fact ("controversial", according to some reports) that she's been booked for Glastonbury. "All I know about Amy is that she's very sweet and she works far too hard", he said. "The fact that Amy's been announced is just one more reason for people to get down to Worthy Farm."
You can hear the Winehouse cover by going to YouTube and entering fairly obvious search terms. "elbow back to black" should do it. The band, meanwhile, have a new single, 'One Day Like This', out this week.
