Another artist doing a cover of Jekyll & Hyde????

[mattheisner]

Hey, I saw that Plumb's new album that'll be out 2/28/06 has a track on it titled "Jekyll & Hyde".

Anybody know if she's doing a cover of Petra's song or if it'll be her own original song that happens to have the same name?

My guess would be it's a different song with the same name. If it is Petra's song, she'd have had to get permission to use it or risk a lawsuit. Petra doesn't have the copyright on the name though, that's been around for quite a long time. It was the title of a book, a number of movies and even a musical.

I just listened to a clip on amazon.com and it's not the Petra version; it's another song with the same name. Which is good, she has a wonderful voice, but she doesn't have the right type of voice to do a cover of a Petra song.

I think she could pull off a Volz-era song.

Not like that ridiculous Caprill Champion.

If she were to cover it, she wouldn't need permisssion per se. All she has to pay is 8.5 cents per song.

It�s a different song with the same title.

Just like First Love and Surrender.
