The I Am Drinking Again EP was released via Domino records in 1998 and consists of two songs, on original, and one a cover of The Cranberries “Dreaming My Dreams.” I have never heard the Cranberries original, but have long loved Oldham’s cover off the EP. Anyone out there know the original; and is it similar?

1 | KEXP Blog » Blog Archive » Today in Music: KEXP live from SXSW, dEUS, !!!, Os Mutantes, the Black Keys, Ratatat and more March 13th, 2007 at 12:43 pmI just recently bought “The Letting Go” and I have been listening to it on constant rotation. Thanks for this post – “Dreaming my Dreams” is awesome. I kind of remember the Cranberries’ version, but not well. But the BPB version is amazing, hands down.
I also highly recommend The Last Town Chorus (myspace.com/thelasttownchorus) – the lead singer also plays lap steel and she does it like nobody I’ve seen. Saw them in Chicago recently …I just bought their new album and it’s sharing the stereo right now w/ Will.

Both have their charms and it would be a pity if one were deemed “better” than the other. They’re just different, is all.

In fact, it’s about all I listened to the month of it’s release. It’s evident no boundaries existed while reinterpreting other artist’s work.
