If you’ve been keeping up with the blog, you may have remembered a fellow named Brady Harris being featured on a Mixtape Monday with a great cover of Blondie’s “Heart of Glass”. Humble too, after stumbling across my blog Brady got in contact with me and sent me a couple of his albums. In terms of talent he deserves to be just as well known as top level act like Spoon, but the music industry isn’t fair to all and he’s seemed to slip through the cracks. However, his ability to cover and interpret others works is top-notch, and not just limited to Blondie songs. Here’s a few of my faves from his album Cover Charge.
