Doc Severensin covered King Crimson in 1970? Who knew?

This is pretty good, actually. It's he and his orchestra doing an instrumental cover of In the Court of the Crimson King.

I vaguely remember reading something about this long ago but I've never had a chance to hear it. I'm only half way through it but I like it! Lounge/Easy Listening/Prog is sorta up my alley though.

This will be a good listen for Friday night.

I've got those. Might be the only Crimson related stuff my wife can stand to listen to, just barely.

well I read that this KC LP got alot of notice by people you would not think it would have when it came out, and it has one of the most amazing LP covers ever to boot.

Funny, my wife walked into the house the other day just as I Talk to the Wind started, she asked who it was and thought I was BSing her when I said King Crimson.

Play Matte Kudasai for her, then.

I first discovered this one at a garage sale about 15 years ago. It is pretty neat.
