Anyone who was fortunate enough to discover Deer Tick’s cover of Sean Kingston’s pop mega hit “Beautiful Girls” last year knows the band’s talent for pulling off a great cover. Deer Tick was a bit late in getting its holiday note out this year, but given its hectic schedule you can’t really fault them. Bandleader John J. McCauley III sent out a holiday note to fans this morning, which includes a lovely cover of Paul Simon’s “Still Crazy After All These Years”.
Here’s the holiday cheer from the man himself:
Hey everybody,
Happy holidays brothers and sisters. Greetings from Westtown, NY. As you may or may not know, Deer Tick has been really busy the past 6 or 7 months between recording an album, touring relentlessly, and just a few days ago beginning pre-production on an even newer album. We wanted to share with all of you a gem from one of our recent sessions…
So here is a cover version of Paul Simon’s “Still Crazy After All These Years” with me, John, on piano and vocals, Chris Ryan on bass, and Dennis Ryan on drums. Andy Tobiassen, our newest member, is regrettably not included on this recording.
We all hope you enjoy this recording; and by all means share it with whomever (except Paul Simon’s legal representative).
