Tips for creating an ‘original’ cover song
Ironically, recording a cover of someone else’s song can be a great way to help you band or project stand out in a crowded field. Here, we look at some fun and interesting ways to breath new life into an old song.
In this recent post on MusicThinkTank, contributor Anita Ginsburg shares some valuable tips on how to create an interest and memorable cover.
