Ain't No Rest For The Wicked - Vintage Jazz Cage The Elephant Cover ft. Joey Cook

[@Kittymouth]

This entire channel is half a jazz band with a costume fetish and a revolving door of singers. And I am HERE FOR IT.

[@veleriphon]

She was definitely the right person for this cover. I can't be sure it's not just that my poor audio equipment that can't take how loud I want to listen to this at, but she's got that kind of raspiness in her vocals that just hits it perfect.

The "virus" quarantine and shut down allowed me to find this amazing channel...so many awesome performances!

This is amazing. Can you just imagine a time traveler opening a swing jazz club with modern music?

[@mosart7025]

Did you ever watch The Moderns? There is a brief second or two when in a Jazz Club in Paris the movie switches from black and white to color, and from a jazz trio to a punk band. Then it goes back to the 1930s. You almost think you imagined it.

[@mrjjwwjj]

Man I thought the lyrics in the original had an impact but this cover really brings them to a whole other level of real.

Of course she nails the song. Everyone has already said that, but the thing that put this over the top for was her stage presence. If you've ever watched CTE perform this song, she absolutely nails the feel that Matt Schultz has while still making it seem appropriate for the "era". Even her look.

[@dancogswell269]

My new favorite song. Absolutely perfect vocals, and great music behind. Postmodern Jukebox is great, as are the speakeasy three, the swing ninjas, the speakeasy swing band and so many more electro-swing bands. Plus, Joey Cook "emotes" perfectly, I like the attitude she projects.

It's a joke. Usually, PMJ videos have a background character doing something fun. Like check out their cover of nsync's bye bye bye and try to focus on anything other than the tambourine guy for more than a few seconds. It's a running gag. And it's funny as all heck.

I love your channel as well as the concept of playing modern songs in a vintage style. HOWEVER, I CHALLENGE YOU GUYS TO DO THE OPPOSITE: Perform a '2017 version' of a 40's hit song.

[@randomdude2540]

If I understood your comment correctly, I think it deserves an 'LOL'...

[@randomdude2540]

Matt Apparently you're living under a rock (where they still play 'What A Wonderful World' or 'Can't Help Falling In Love'...), Cause if you turn on a radio one of these days you'll hear the kind of shit they call music in modern times... I'm pretty sure what Matthew meant was that most of the songs that were popular in the 1940's were covers of older songs.

[@randomdude2540]

Matthew Eric was I wrong? Also, why did you delete your comment?

[@randomdude2540]

WOW... A. Writing 'an' wasn't wrong since I was using 'lol' as a noun (El-Oh-El). B. I'm sorry if I offended you. I didn't mean to talk down... C. The term 'Pop Music' can refer to one of two genres. It either means popular music in general, or a specific style of music that was popular in the 50's and 60's. D. Popular music has most certainly changed beyond recognition. (If you think otherwise, reread my previous comment.) E. Pop Music (which in the 50's and 60's was also 'Popular Music'), did not change, however, it is no longer popular and is completely irrelevant. F. Never have I mentioned the word 'pop'... All I said was that the 'hits' of the 40's are radically different than those of the 2010's And also, all the incoherent rambling (about copyright/royalties/licensing) is completely irrelevant to this conversation...

[@hanoj10]

This idea makes no sense. What makes PMJ great is their ability to take a simple pop song and make it musically complex. It's not a challenge to dumb down music.

[@iprobablyforgotsomething]

You know, I gotta respect Mr. Clarinet; he doesn't let a spontaneous gig get in the way of his previously scheduled redecorating, but neither does he half-heart his performance. Who knew it was possible to give 100% to two different things at the same time? xD srsly tho I
