Covering "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" has all but become a cliche. But Antony & the Johnsons do what great artists are able to do with someone else's work, transform it while still doing it justice. They perform the cover for the I'm Not There soundtrack. Critically, you'll probably find this band categorized as Chamber Pop, but there are so many elements to their music that it's hard to comfortably categorize them. So, to assist in this matter, a word association for your edification on Antony & the Johnsons:
- Spooky Gospel Good
- Audible Androgyny
- Drama Queen Piano Bar
- Soul Reverberating Earnestness
Best Place and Time for Listen:
Your beat-up couch with shades pulled down. Embrace the sorrow!
If This Song Was a Celebrity It Would Be:
Wilson from Cast Away.
