Gene - Wasteland (Jam Cover)

[@lordvadertheleftie9703]

Martin Rossiter's voice on that final line is one of his finest moments. I remember buying this album back around 1997

Such a great cover!!

[@shaunw9270]

This is an excellent cover 👌

[@johnbonner258]

Gene should have released this as a single in its own right.

[@MariaGonzalez-ff2jm]

This is a really nice version

[@torontoderek]

Brilliant cover of one of my favourite Jam songs. I'd love PW to do that live now on piano or acoustic.

I think I remember reading that Mick Talbot provided the keys on this recording. Anybody know if that's true?

Who is gene? No offence intended - Iv just found this version.

[@shaunw9270]

Gene were an English band in the 90's , got lumped into the Britpop category. Great musicians, distinctive singer, cool guitarist. My favourite of theirs is still "London Can You Wait" . The song "Wasteland" was on The Jam's 1979 album "Setting Sons" , written by Paul Weller.
