Cover songs can do favours to their musicians. They can make them successful like they did in the case of Juice Newton. Yes, I know, the fact her biggest hits are mostly the pieces by the other people shouldn't suggest anything, because her versions of them eventually became the most famous ones of them all. I mean, the tune in the link doesn't really differ from the original arrangement-wise, yet I think Mrs. Newton's voice fits the mood of the song much better. She has a certain swagger present in her vocals, which transforms the entire composition in a more ebbulient athmosphere. Whereas Dave Edmunds sounds like he's close towards the desperation, Juice Newton seems to be having a lot of fun during the whole enterprise.

Julian Lennon's introductory disc caused me to look into the discographies of those that have famous parents. While one can become a bit too direct in the accusations of nepotism here, one should be aware many like this know about their situation. Natalie Cole, for instance, didn't work within the idiom of her father for a very long time, she began as a soul singer. Nonetheless, her pieces from then did show she had a propensity for jazz as one can hear in her way of singing and the choices connected with the musical backing. To give you an example of what I'm trying to say – the song in the link resembles a cover of a composition her father did despite the ditty being an original one. Then again, Don't Look Back, the location of the tune, was the glimpse of her consequent jazz wins.

Bonnie Raitt's Green Light represent her entrance into the 80's, the decade that changed many musicians. Some of them also achieved their biggest sucesses then with their introductions to the period pointing towards their consequent sounds that gave them their large wins. John Mellencamp, still Cougar at that point, released Nothin' Matters And What If It Did, which basically resembles a beta version of American Fool, his early commercial juggernaut. However, this doesn't suggest Nothin' Matters serves as a mere placeholder, the disc, produced by Steve Cropper of the M.G.'s fame, finds Mellencamp noticing the strengths of his sounds and his songwriting received quite a boost. He tackled the themes on that one, which he continues to talk about.
