Hi;
I have found an interest in creating mixes from different renditions of the same song. The purpose is solely for my own personal enjoyment. I do not distribute (or share) my creations.
Most of the time I mix renditions by different artists, but sometimes it's the same artist but slightly different variation.
Some examples are:
CCR & Bryan Adams - Down on the Corner
Beach Boys & David Lee Roth - California Girls
Steve Miller & Carl Franklin - Jungle Love
R.E.M. & Tommy James - Draggin' The Line
R.E.M. & Christie - Yellow River
Vanity Fare - Hitchin' A Ride (same artist, different renditions)
I use Reaper to do this work.
I found several songs that were close enough in tempo and sounded good as a mix, but I seem to have run out of songs to work with.
I used this list: Songfacts - Songs that Were Hits for More Than One Artist, but would like another source. My Google searches have turned up several websites on 'cover' songs, but for the most part, it is difficult to find the right renditions.
Sometimes I'll just go through my music library - my genre is Rock & Pop (any variety) from the 70's through 2000's - pick a song I think may have been 'covered', and search for it on iTunes. I can then listen to a clip from the song and determine whether or not it might work in a mix before purchasing it.
So, what I am looking for is any website where I might find listings of good candidates to work with.
Any ideas?
Thanks
FW
