“Girl Crush” wins “Best Country Song” at the 2016 Grammies. Remember Lady Antebellum’s Grammy Award winning “Need You Know” (2009)? Lady Antebellum vs. The Alan Parsons Project . There has been a bit of discussion on facebook over what sounds like Little Big Town’s controversial track “Girl Crush”. My first reaction was that the guitar riff sounded a lot like “Unchained Melody”. A few others chimed in and and there are some good ones. Have a listen!
This one was submitted by Robert via facebook. I wasn’t familiar with either song but heard the similarities right away. Check out James Bay‘s “Hold Back The River” and Matthew Perryman Jones “Meghan’s Song” (2006).
Kirb and Hunter both sent me this so I had to check it out. Muse put out a new single called “Psycho” and the main guitar riff sounds a lot like “Roadhouse Blues” by The Doors. I’m sure you can probably trace the origins of this bluesy riff back a few more decades.
Have a listen!
