Giving up the role of pretender

Another preview track from the upcoming tribute album Ride ​The Rainbow. It is an acoustic rendition of I Surrender by Candice Night with Marcus Nand on guitar.

Thanks to Uwe for reminding us.

    I like it. So much (and more so than Joe‘s take in the ‘original’) that I‘m prepared to forgive Russ Ballard that god-awful rhyme of “tender” with “send ya” 😝. That is on par with Paul Stanley’s destruction of the English language in Come On And Love Me when he rhymes “nearer/nearuh” with “mirror/meeruh”. 😂

    But Candice sings this so nicely, we’ll ignore the rhyme crime this time.

    Not my cup o’ tea, the song loses its teeth with the acoustic arrangement. It’s ok, nothing more.
