Studio Brussel, after 15 years still my favourite radiostation, is doing a show about the 90ies called 'Rendez Vous'.
Every show they pick out a year to discuss and talk about what musically happened that year.
One of the items they do, is letting a Belgian artist cover one of the biggest (rock-)hits of that year.
Well, I've heard some good ones, some serious-shame-on-you-bad-ones, but for the year 1994 an exceptional version of the song 'Black hole sun' (by Soundgarden originally) was covered by Ozark Henry.
If you know the original, you'll have to agree with me that Piet Goddaer has respected the original, but completely made this song his own... I think it's the best cover I've heared in a long time...

(and let me know what you think) :-)

Not bad... Not bad at all! I actually really like it!
blasted no speaker computer!
I'll have to wait till I am at a different computer.
Yes ! I got to listen to it.
Ozark Henry is one of the best Belgian contemporary artist out there.. this cover proofs it once again.
I heard he's composing movie soundtracks as well. Hopefully one day, he'll receive a notorious international award for his work.
Thanks for sharing !
