  • The Laptop Sessions: “Glass King” (America Acoustic Rock Cover Song)

    Saturday, April 26th, 2008

    By Jeff Copperthite:
    Welcome to Saturday’s edition of The Laptop Sessions, where I bring you another song by request. This song, while being an Itunes-only purchasable track, is easily one of the coolest songs by America.

    The song is called “Glass King” and is written by Dewey Bunnell. It has a great bluesy guitar riff and sung in that classic Dewey style. It easily translates to acoustic since both Dewey & Gerry Beckley are on acoustic guitars when they play this song live. I became an instant fan of this song once I bought their album “Here & Now” on itunes.

    Speaking of which, it is a great, great album. This song should really have been part of it, instead of as a bonus track. Don’t get me wrong - the songs that are part of the “official” album are all great in their own right. After all, it’s America - one of the greatest bands of all!

    I hope you enjoy this song, as I am sure this will be added to my live song library for The Laptop Sessions Live Tour (remember, May 16 @ George’s II in Wallingford!)!

    Be sure to come back tomorrow, where Jim will kick off another specialty week here at http://www.laptopsessions.com - #1 week! We’ll see you tomorrow for that!
