I've mentioned several times here that I'm a fan of
Coverville,
Brian Ibbott's cover song podcast. I got a particular kick out of his
Groundhog Day show, which was a takeoff on, well,
Groundhog
Day. Brian used a series of
Britney
Spears covers, specifically of the songs
Toxic
and
...Baby
One More Time, with the
Max Raabe version of
Oops!...I
Did It Again thrown in at the end. But the one that got my
attention was a version of Toxic recorded by the Chapin
Sisters, daughters of
Tom
and nieces of the late, lamented
Harry.
And while searching the iTMS for the Sisters' music (sadly not
represented here but available
on their website), I
came upon Jen, daughter of Harry and niece of Tom. Clearly there's
something to this genetics stuff, because Jen Chapin has both her
father's special musical gift, his ability to tell a story in song and
his social conscience. Like her father, Ms. Chapin takes a little
time to appreciate. But the best often does.
