Angie Hart (of Frente! & Splendid fame) and Glenn Bennie (GB3, Underground Lovers) have collaborated on a cover of the Go-Between’s Devil’s Eye. It’s a great cover of the song, with Glenn and Angie complementing each other’s talents.
The song is part of Love goes on Anyway, a tribute album to Grant McLennan, The Go-Betweens singer-songwriter who died earlier this year. It’s great to see that this tribute album is being produced by an indie label, Rare Victory Records, as The Go-Betweens were one of Australia’s great indie bands.
Love Goes On Anyway, A Tribute to Grant McLennan, is Rare Victory Records’ testament to just how much of an effect the Go-Betweens had on an entire generation of music fans and musicians. These new versions that we’re hearing as they trickle in from various artists are astonishing, and they seem to conjure up the very spirit of what Grant and Robert were after, picking up a piece of the past and making it live again.
