Marc Cohn at Overture Center for the Arts - Capitol Theater
After a gritty career resuscitation courtesy of 2007’s Join The Parade—released after a nine-year recording break—Marc Cohn takes a page out of the Rod Stewart playbook with his recent covers album, Listening Booth: 1970, which you may have seen in Starbucks. But whereas Stewart plays it mostly straight, Cohn’s versions of hits from the early ’70s—like his hushed, bass-heavy take on Simon And Garfunkel’s sublime “The Only Living Boy In New York”—offer an altered image of recognizable classics. Odds are he’ll play some of these new spins on old favorites here, with some “Walking In Memphis” thrown in to appease the diehards.
