I know, I know.<\/p>\n
I promised I’d move on from the Cover Me<\/em> contest<\/a> entries for a while, now that the evaluation and judging process has begun in earnest.<\/p>\n But today’s cover entry is exception-worthy, because it’s approved by the original artist himself.<\/p>\n HouseHolder Reloaded first formed 30 years ago in Naples, Italy. Formed by three brothers who originally recorded at home (hence the band’s name), the band eventually moved to London before splitting up and going their own ways.<\/p>\n They reunited earlier this year in order to contribute a cover to the international Cover Me<\/em> contest, recording in Naples, Birmingham, and from remote locations due to the pandemic.<\/p>\n Hoping to choose a song no other contestant would cover, they selected one of Bruce’s more recent tracks: “The Wayfarer<\/a>,” from\u00a0Western Stars.\u00a0<\/em>They translated Bruce’s lyrics into their native Neapolitan, and created an arrangement every bit as captivating as the original.<\/p>\n
