Rockabilly version of “The Look” recorded by The Baseballs
Written by sleepingSingle on June 28, 2009 to Releases.
BERLIN - The Baseballs, a German rockabilly/rock 'n' roll cover band (think Elvis Presley, think Stray Cats), has recorded Roxette's "The Look" for its new album "Strike."
Digger, the frontman, said in an interview in Münstersche Zeitung that "we wanted to give the album a personal touch. "The Look" was chosen by me. It refers to my musical beginning. It was my sister's first vinyl LP, the first song I could play on the keyboards."

Bought the album via iTunes 2 days ago! It’s really great if you like that style! Prefer many of the songs to the originals (Umbrella...).

Just bought the album and it is fantastic (you can get it on Itunes uk) the covers are amazing! They do ’I don’t feel like dancin” which I thought couldn’t get much more camp? I was wrong! The look feels so different, I’m so happy listenening to the whole album! x

According to the event information in Facebook, the event, taking place on March 12, is dedicated especially to the people “who used Café Opera as their living room in the 80s.” The tickets cfp is only available via Swedish bank giro, so it may be difficult to obtain tickets abroad.

Great cover! Can’t wait to hear the whole version. I personally happy every time there were band/singer covered Roxette’s song, meaning that Roxette actually influenced many musician and I am proud to be Roxette fan. So far, none of the cover (that I got a chance to listen) destroyed the song. Of course, none of them (yet) are better than the original but definitely not suck either.
