Lady GaGa Goes Country With The Morning Pages

Posted on August 26, 2010 by Shelley Peckham

Love her or hate her, you’d be a fool to ignore the star power of that delightfully eccentric, seemingly unstoppable pop machine that is Lady GaGa.  When she’s not busy writing songs, designing stage outfits, landing on the cover of a magazine, or listening to her legions of “little monsters” screaming her name, she’s getting her mega hits covered by anyone and everyone.

We couldn’t help but share this one from Brooklyn’s alt-country troupe, The Morning Pages.  Singer Grant Maxwell says, “A great song is a great song and indie music doesn’t have to be all dissonant and obscure and depressing all the time and on the other hand pop music could stand to sound a lot more organic and musical. My thought was that maybe we could combine the depth of roots music with the visceral enjoyment and popular appeal of mainstream music and get the next revolution started….also, I just couldn’t get that song out of my head!”

Thoughts?
