Articles on Cover Songs and Original Music by Laptop Sessions Songwriters

Here, you’ll find informative and entertaining articles about the Fusco-Moore Productions Blog, home of the Laptop Sessions acoustic cover songs video series.

New articles are being added frequently, and you’ll read about who we are, why we do these cover songs, and what to expect next from this video blog. You’ll also read great tutorial articles about how to record a song, how to record a video, how to write a song, and how to go about covering a song. These articles are aimed to help any musician out there by giving great music information and sound advice from three great songwriters: Jim Fusco, Chris Moore, and Jeff Copperthite. You’ll also read guest articles from Becky Daly, a member of the original music band, Masters of the Universe.

Cover songs are tricky to do- when trying to impress fans of the original version, you have to stay true to the song, but also give it your own “flavor”. Here at the Laptop Sessions cover songs video blog, you’ll hear acoustic versions of the best rock songs of all time. These songs are given the correct “cover song treatment” and pay homage to the original, but still remain unique. The Laptop Sessions also offers great original songs, and you’ll read many articles on how we go about writing our original music here on the blog. Great rock music is all here and make sure to check back every day, because there’s always a new song, video, blog post, or article here from Fusco-Moore Productions!

Yes, the Laptop Sessions acoustic cover songs blog always comes out with new material, but you'll also want to check out our extensive archive of past posts. We have literally hundreds of great acoustic cover videos here on the blog. And, a great cover video is just as good today as it was a year ago. You could spend DAYS watching great cover song videos through our extensive archives!

During your search, make sure to watch out for specialty weeks of our cover videos, including "New Bands Week" and "Number Ones Week", where we played a full seven days of songs that hit Number One on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. These weeks allowed the members of the Laptop Sessions to expand their horizons and play cover songs that they normally wouldn't have thought of. It's amazing how difficult it is to find a Number One song from the past twenty years that we actually like, much less would want to play as an acoustic cover.

Through these archives, you'll find our talent by how we turned many over-produced songs into acoustic versions. Eighties songs especially benefited from our efforts because they tended to have electronic sounds that make the songs sound very dated now. Our acoustic treatment to these cover songs showcases them as just "songs" and not "recordings". If a song's truly great, it'll stand up to our bare-bones acoustic style. But, even well-produced songs, like those from the Beach Boys and the Beatles, do well as acoustic versions here on the Laptop Sessions music video series. When we do an acoustic cover of one of these songs, say stripping-away layered harmonies, you can still hear how great the song is on its own. It's a unique take on all these classic songs- hear your favorites with a fresh sound! That's what we promise here on the Fusco-Moore Productions Blog: great acoustic cover songs, superb video performances, and great music articles to tie it all together.
