The Gloria Jones Challenge is our ongoing examination of the many, many, many covers of Jones’ classic Northern Soul jam “Tainted Love” – to see how they stack up compared to the original.
Today’s challenger gives the song a stripped down acoustic treatment and a video with the utmost subtle of messages.
Our buddy Frank Turner has a new album, England Keep My Bones, coming out on June 6th – which you already know if you follow our blog very closely as we’ve mentioned it a few times. What can we say? We’re looking forward to it. Check out the video for the first single “Peggy Sang The Blues” below, and a short documentary film on the making of the new album.
