The second in the series of cover versions of songs that have inspired and influenced John Canning Yates

The second of The Quiet Covers features JCY’s version of Big Star’s Blue Moon.

“A late-night version of a song from one of my favourite albums, Big Star ‘Third.’ Blue Moon was written by the late great Alex Chilton (my birthday brother … 28th December). I had the honour of meeting Jody Stephens from Big Star recently after seeing Those Pretty Wrongs play a beautiful set in Liverpool.”
