Live performance of Concrete Blonde's "Joey" by Calgary cover band Black Light, recorded live at rehearsal Mar.10/15. Facebook - / 115146210925 Website - www.blacklightband.ca/
Agree and disagree... Quite possibly the best Joey cover I've heard also, but... nothing like Johnette. The singer has a good voice that especially shines in the chorus, but... one should not flippantly pass out Johnette Napolitano creds... they must be earned, and that's a high goal! Just because someone runs a race well, we don't say dang... that was pretty close to that Bolt dude who's like the fastest guy on the planet
I found the original song just 2 days ago on a radio channel in Melbourne. Have not taken off my headphones since. One of the 2 best covers of the song so far. Amazing job. What a great bunch of people with love for music. Glad i found this cover.
I almost passed this up. I am a HUGE fan of Johnette and especially the song Joey. When it came out I was Joey. I saw the vid of Johnette and concrete blonde and I saw myself in her song. YOU are fantastic. Johnette's voice is great and hard to copy but you are the closest I have heard. GREAT and I hope you do not mind I copied it.
Awesome!!! Means a lot to me. Coming out of the ministry a recovering alcoholic. I know I lost everything. But still in touch with my ex. Always a good song.
I have heard this song song by literally hundreds of people but I have never heard someone like your lead singer I am in shock I played this song so many times over and over again and it sounds like the original
Best cover I've heard of Joey! Your voice gives me chills! Loved the original the first time I ever heard it 20 years ago! Jonette (Concrete Blond was Amazing! )The best ever female vocal singer of the 90s and 2021. You Rock!!!!
NOT because I'm a fellow Canucklehead (...how's it going eh?) But FYI, I totally stopped surfing and signed in just to say WOW! Bravo to the band 100%........but OMG you NAILED the singing...unbelievable! Been playing for 30 years, heard (and have played) this tune quite a few times and hands-downs, speechless. Johnette (...and others) would be in awe. FANTASTIC VOICE!!!!! Wish I knew a name to put on your plane ticket to LA. ;) Would love to hear more.
Wow, people you did a fantastic job with this cover. The band nails the sound and it takes a very strong voice to make this song sound right and she nails it! Was not expecting this.......you all should be very proud. This should have a million plus views.
Absolutely blown away by your version. Amazing performance. I fucking guarantee your neighbors don’t complain about the noise lol. Move next door to me in Scottsdale lol
Shout out to a great lead guitarist! I loved the way she sang it too but it's good to put it in your own style...or why wud ppl just go to Concrete Blonde to hear original. U very talented but sound like YOU@ DINT GET MAD! YOU'RE GREAT BUT NOBODY CAN DO YOU LIKE YOU!!!!! GREAT BAND!!!
My God...what an ABSOLUTE AWESOME COVER of one of my favorite songs!!! This is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING & AS GOOD AS THE ORIGINAL!!! Well Done...Well Done...Well Done!!! Much love from Mobile Alabama.
The very BEST cover of Joey. Damn near Johnette herself. Hope these guys are earning cause they deserve it.
agree
