Don’t Let Me Down
Monday morning, another excellent cover of a lesser known Beatles song from Josh, Carson, Reina, and Toni.
A John Lennon penned song, it was released as the B-Side to the “Get Back” single, but for some reason it was cut from the Let It Be album.

Reina del Cid with a smart lyric about a vain queen from Greek mythology who now makes her home in the sky.

“I’ve Forgotten If They’re Green Or They’re Blue”
I think “Your Song” was the first Elton John song I had ever heard, around 1970. I remember thinking it was cool writing a song about writing a song ineptly. Reina del Cid and Toni Lindgren with a lovely version of the Elton John/Bernie Taupin classic.

Let It Be Me
Reina del Cid and Toni Lindgren sing the Everly Brothers classic. With Toni nailing the electric guitar parts and the harmonies, this is one I listen to several times in a row.

The Tennessee Waltz
***
Okay, so “The Tennessee Waltz” is a song I’ve hated all my life. When I would hear it on the radio or when somebody on a TV variety show would sing it, I would immediately turn it off. It seemed to me like an endless, very boring song. But…wow. This version by Reina del Cid and Toni Lindgren on guitar is just great. First time I really heard the lyrics, and Toni’s guitar playing is wonderful.

Brandy: Reina Del Cid And Toni Lindgren
***
Monday morning, Reina and Toni got a new Van, “Morrison,” and celebrate with a cover of the jukebox hit, “Brandy.” A lovely version, but a little bit hair-raising when Reina closes her eyes.

Morse Code: Reina Del Cid And Josh Turner
***
Nice to find this song on YouTube—Reina and Josh sung it at their recent NYC engagement, and I thought it was a wonderfully smart piece of songwriting by Reina. Of course, Josh provides his usual tasteful musicianship to the performance.
