Earle Mankey did this obviously 80s album in an obviously home studio setup. It was pretty interesting back in the day because he was known for working with REM et al. The recent troubles in Burma always make me hum bits of one song here... overall, today? Unlistenable for more than a song or two. I think I used to play Bigger than Life on the radio. Probably Lion Sleeps Tonight too.

I'm not sure what this video is other than "curious".

I'd never sat thru the whole thing to hear LW call it a spiritual.

"a modern spiritual"?

 Those guys are pretty funny.  A lot of those songs were recorded in different keys, but they do all contain some variation of that standard progression (e.g., D - A - Bm - G, ; C - G - Am - F) .  I guess it is in thousands of tunes.

Didn't know where to post this.  These guys sing a slew of hits from the past 30 years to the same four chords - making you wonder if any of them are that unique.
