Cover tunes- Heart Full of Soul- Chris Isaak

I love a good cover song and wanted to post a variety- some serious, some funny, some known, some obscure. I’m going to start with a fairly straightforward cover. The original is a classic- - The Graham Gouldman-penned "Heart Full Of Soul". A 1965 hit for the Yardbirds. A #9 hit in the US and #2 in the UK I have to admit that even if there are better singers than Keith Relf, I can’t imagine anyone else singing it. I also have seen performances of it (and lip synched or not) my brain goes to Jeff Beck rocking out. This song was the first single Beck played on after Eric Clapton left the band. I won’t spend much more time here but if you don’t know, I’m a pretty big Yardbirds fan. I heard this cover a long time ago and it can be found on the self titled 1987 Chris Isaak album. I am a big Chris Isaac fan. He’s such a left field performer in comparison with other artists of his time. He has spent a lot of time converting classic 50s rock but I love his original work even more Anyway, I have to admit this is a pretty neat cover- really adding *ahem* soul to the original. I feel I’d be remiss not to add Rush covered the song in 2004 for the Feedback EP. I’m not the hugest Rush fan, and I suspect if you are, you’ve probably heard it already. But if not, look it up- it feels like. Modern version- faithful to the original, but doing it in a way that would probably cause many modern listeners to prefer it 1987 - Warner Bros
