Frank Watkins: I Will Follow You Into the Dark

I have this tendency, whenever I find a new song I like a lot… I’ll eventually turn to YouTube, to see about listening to a live version of the song. Invariably, there are videos from other people doing covers of the song – and I go down a bit of a rabbit hole.

I’ve long played around with the idea of creating another blog whose content is just covers of songs I like – ideally lesser heard, lesser known covers.

It’s been hard enough keeping one blog going, so I doubt that will ever materialize as a separate thing. But I really enjoy well done covers by not well known people.

Frank Watkins has posted a lot of covers on his YouTube channel – and wracked up quite the following.
