Episode description

We return to The Hollies'  1965 tearjerker, "So Lonely" because there are so many good versions we couldn't fit in our June 19 episode! The first in part 2 is The Henchmen,  who created a garage derangement of the song in 1966, with organ and cool-dude-attitude vocals (2:07) That same year, The Ashes  produced a haunting folk-rock take (34:49). Sparse, subdued and Cowboy Junkies-esque, with lonesome harmonica, shaky tambourine and  forlorn female vocals.  The Fugue were up next in 1968:  their version is really slow, really loud, with a really heavy Hammond which will put you in an un-Bachlike fugue state (1:10:52). This would be the Phantom of the Opera's version. We leave you with a super bonus version from Miriam Linna, whose 2014 version proves the song is still going strong (1:08:15)!
