I seriously debated whether or not to use this John Hiatt classic song that Mandy Moore covered.
What I did NOT debate was that Mandy Moore - singer, actress, superstar - was ABSOLUTELY representing New Hampshire, as she hails from Nashua, which, yes, I know, is BARELY in New Hampshire. But it is. Haven of tax free shopping for Massachusetts residents. Heck, the Pheasant Lane Mall straddles the border (you can park in Tyngsboro and shop in Nashua).
Yeah. I've been.
But also, Mandy Moore's version of John Hiatt's heartfelt classic didn't have a huge chart impact, but did get some US pop radio airplay. Her voice is very much the equal to the material, and I'm glad she covered it.
And I'm glad I chose this song.
Today, it seems like this blog has come full circle. Post #8 on this blog was written by Scott, my former co-writer, and what he shared was Mandy Moore doing an XTC cover. That post led directly to the creation of Totally Covered, a blog that I don't post as much stuff on anymore. (Don't look for today's song over there, by the way - it's embarrassing that it was posted TWICE there as well - which is a large part of the reason I posted this here today).
Anyway, the video Scott used was from a Sessions@AOL recording, and today's live recording is from the very same session.
