Otis Redding - That's How Strong My Love Is





Here's a live version by Doug Martsch. I never saw Otis Redding in concert, but I've seen Doug twice (once alone, once with Built to Spill) and really enjoyed it both times.
"So you know what Doug Martsch tells the big boys? That he likes Idaho--and his family--too much to hit the rock and roll road. Here's hoping he can turn a modest profit while sticking to the essence of this decision, one of the sanest biases in all indiedom. And here's hoping he keeps writing those songs and playing that guitar."

Boise Cover Band


This might be for you if:
  • you like Beat Happening, Shonen Knife, or the softer side of early Built to Spill.
  • you have ever heard of the band Cub.
  • you like odd covers of David Bowie songs.
  • you're a fan of whatever Doug Martsch does.
  • you like it when things are not obviously ironic nor determinedly sincere
  • you like that Pretenders song "Back on the Chain Gang" enough to like it without lyrics
