Love Hurts by The Everly Bros, rock ballad by Julian Lage

[ASATKat]

Is this the first more current rock tune, in this century,,, played by Julian?
I love rock tunes like this played by world class jazz musicians, and there is an endless supply of rock tunes out there.

Great version!
Though I love the Nazareth version too, I always think of LH as an Everly Brothers tune.

It's 'by' the Everley Brothers actually, and was covered by Roy Orbison before Naz got their hands on it.

But I prefer the raw edge of Dunfermline's finest.

I've heard this song Love Hurts before but never gave it any attention, sort of rock & parsley.

Julian finds the deeper beauty hidden inside the otherwise bland tune, his harmonic mastery adds a lot to the appeal of his performance. And done in a way that doesn't sound like "jazz", but it is. Frisell, and Sco do it too. In fact those two players come to mind in Jules performance, and of course that goes back to Jim Hall. Mojo,,,

In my critique here I have to say Julian's solo is great,,,,, but was it necessary? It is a signature thing for Jules to go high up the neck and bank on the screech and metallic tone put on a bend. I've heard that before in his pretty tunes and I would like if Julian gave it a break and keep it pretty, soloing softer. At least sometimes.

Thanks for that, so Julian's not playing a 21st century tune, the band is what threw me.

The memories of Roy are flooding back.

That's two Roy Orbison songs on this recording. Hmm,

Julian maybe moving into smooth jazz

My favorite version:

 

[Random1643]

This song was written by Boudleaux Bryant, who with his wife Felice wrote All I Have To Do Is Dream, Bye-Bye Love, Like Strangers, Raining In My Heart, and other happy ballads. He wrote How's the World Treating You (1953) with Chet Atkins. Real talent.

My favorite version:

Mine too...man I love Parsons and the Burritos too of course.

I really like this version too. Julian Lage does a great job on this.

I love this version, it has an almost no-wave delivery by cheery voices with a uke.
