Constantines and Feist – Islands in The Stream Cover
I was visiting The Constantines myspace recently because I know they’re from Toronto but I’ve never listened to them before. The first track they had was a track recorded with Feist covering “Islands In The Stream” a song by Kenny Rogers sung with Dolly Parton.
I’m totally in love with this cover…granted I’ve never heard the first version. I usually dig duets vastly especially of the male/female variety. It’s an awesome love song and it made me realize that Mya sings this part in Pras’ Ghetto Superstar (I didn’t even need wikipedia for it!).
Anyway, I don’t normally like posting singles especially if its like “Violet Hill” or CSS’ new single unless I’ve got a great excuse. I don’t want to be a lame duck blogger either because everyone else is doing it. Not too many bloggers have discussed this track.
Just enjoy a great single, not original but it’s fucking lovely.
