Uncovered

I've often written about my love of a good cover song. But I found myself this week discovering the original of not one, but two cover songs. I've already mentioned the Lovin Spoonful's "Darling Be Home Soon." Today it's John Cale's "Andalucia." I've long been a fan of Mary Lou Lord's version (on her 1993 tape Real) but somehow never heard Cale's original before. Shame on me.
