This weekend I downloaded Harry Luge's version of Sara Says.

They change the highway in the chorus 3 times. First time it's out of Tempe, Arizona, seconds it's Mesa, Arizona and third time it's Tuscon, Arizona.

I've heard Mark Zubia (who wrote it) sing Tuscon with Los Guys. Seriously, don't these guys know that the killer lyric of the song is "on the highway out of Tempe, Arizona" and you just shouldn't fuck with it? [wink]

Tuscon works okay, not as cool as Tempe, but it works. Mesa...well, Mesa just sounds weird. [smile]

The Harry version is much more country, compared to the Zubia Brothers version - which itself is pretty country - especially in comparison to the Pistolero's full out rock version. Largely due to the vocals, Harry's are quite country, versus Lawrence's grity vocals. However, the Harry version lacks the pedal steel guitar lead intro of the Zubia Brothers version. Instead the intro is stripped back to a single acoustic guitar playing rythmn. Not that I have a problem with the Zubia Brother's version, but the Harry Luge intro is da bomb. Overall I prefer the Zubia Brother's version, but certainly love the Harry intro.

Interestingly, their album also has a cover of Steve Larson's Wasting All My Time

Sara Cina says there's love in California...
