Cher drops another blurb about a possible 60s cover album expected sometime in 2009.
According to a quote in the New York Post:
"I’m planning an album of all these great songs from the ’60s that I’ve never covered before. It was such a magical time for music – groups like The Beatles, the Hollies, the Zombies, the Kinks, the (Rolling) Stones and singers like (Bob) Dylan and Otis Redding… I want to pay tribute to a time when I used to listen to music on my little transistor radio or on my AM radio in my Ford Mustang."
Cher mentions the mustang! What a coincidence! It's going back on sale! She can re-buy it and stick it on the album cover – like Usher did above. Please, can we see an album cover picture of Cher in the great American outdoors?
I like this edition of this news story because they call her an “Armenian Superestrella.”
It may be hard to find a Dylan hit she hasn’t done. She’s already done 10 covers on Imperial alone. Let’s see if I can name them all without looking them up:
- All I Really Want to Do
- Blowin in the Wind
- The Times They are A Changin
- Like a Rolling Stone
- I Want You
- Masters of War
- Tonight I’ll Be Staying Here With You
- Lay Lady Lay (changed to Baby)
D’oh! I had to look up these two – which I always forget: - Don’t Think Twice, It’s Alright
- I Threw it All Away
Cher's covered The Beatles ("Gotta Get You Into My Life," "Hey Jude," "Something"- all on her first live album plus other various medleys on her 70s TV shows), Ray Davies of The Kinks ("I Go To Sleep" – there's also a great cover of this song on Sia's new album), The Stones ("Satisfaction" on her TV show), Otis Redding ("Sittin on the Dock of the Bay"), I don’t know if she did a Hollies song but John Sebastian was in the Hollies and he was also in Lovin Spoonful and she did their "Do You Believe in Magic" (Sebastian also did the great Welcome Back Kotter theme).
What would be a good Zombies cover? Hmm. Anyone have any thoughts?
She did do that Crystal Blue Pursuasion song with Elijah on that movie soundtrack. I would LOVE a Joni Mitchell song!! I might just faint!

S&C did a great version of the Zombies “Leave Me Be”. I can envision Cher doing the Hollies “Look Through Any Window”.
That’s right! That song finally charted big the historic month of my birth!
TIME OF THE SEASON !!!!!!
