DYLAN COVERS #119 Jackie Leven/Peter Tork - She Belongs to Me

Hey! Hey! I'm Peter Tork, can you spot me?

JACKIE LEVEN - She Belongs to Me (2009)

Here are a couple of takes of  She belongs to Me  by a couple of interesting guys. First up is the late great man from Scotland  Jackie Leven.  I have always had a soft spot for  Jackie  and I have featured him before with his 'dubious' colaboration with  Dylan. This track however can be found on the album  The Haunted Year - Spring (2009). I think it is just fabulous.

Second up is  Peter Tork  of  Monkeys  fame. Peter  has released a couple of solo albums since leaveing the Monkeys, but not much more. This version of SBTM can be found on his album Cambria Hotel (2007)

R.I.P. - Davy Jones (1945-2012)

It is with great sadness yesterday that I heard of the passing of Davy Jones.
THE MONKEES - I'm a Believer(1965)


When I first heard that there was going to be a manufactured band for a TV programme, even as a teenager, I was cynical at that prospect. I thought I should however give it a watch. The Beatles and the Beach Boys were at the height of their glorious powers. It was obvious that this was a ploy to copy the Beatles. Four guys , the goofy one, the serious one, the rebel and of course the cute one. Davy Jones fitted the bill to perfection as the cute one that all the young girls loved and adored. Even the format of the stories were very much like the Beatles film Help..

Saying all that, I loved the Monkees and continued to watch them every Saturday night. The main reason was the quality of the songs. It was top notch pop, as good as it gets. I bet you all know some of the Monkees' songs : ‘I'm A Believer’, ‘(I'm Not Your) Steppin’ Stone’ and ‘Daydream Believer’, their albums and singles have sold over 65 million copies worldwide.

Davy Jones was the face and the voice of the Monkees.

All I can say as a last few words is  'hey, hey, I am a believer'   R.I.P.  Davy Jones.
