Sublime a Cover Band??

Sublime a Cover Band??

The word Cover Band seems to have a bit of a negative connotation so of course when we heard through the grapevine (Scott our producer is the one who enlightened us about it) that Sublime did more covers than originals I was quick to say "NO WAY!!"  But as we did more research on the subject we realized that in fact Sublime has covered quite a few more songs than you would have thought.  We both LOVE Sublime no matter if they are a cover band or not.  We actually think even more highly of them now that we know that most of their songs were old reggae songs.  Without Sublime we would have never checked out music by Toots and the Maytals or Dee Dee Warwick to name a few.  Sublime had a Fantastic taste in music and they took those songs and made them their own. Some of them turned out even better than the original, like Scarlet Begonias, originally by the Grateful Dead, redone by Sublime and honestly you've got to admit Sublime did it better (Sorry Dead Heads).  This last show we played some of  the original songs that Sublime covered.  We hope you enjoy listening as much as we did!
