Midnight Illusions - When Jpop Covers West Pop

Midnight Illusions - When Jpop Covers West Pop: 4- Knocking on Heaven's Door - Angela Aki
Who could imagined that a song written for a cowboy movie was going to be that important? Well, Bob Dylan wrote it in 1973 and made one of the best songs in music history, and is among the 500 greteast songs of all time. This song has been covered by Guns N' Roses, Bon Jovi, Roger Waters, Bob Marley, Aerosmith... Even Avril Lavigne has her version. Angela Aki sings a japanese version of it it in her album "Answer" It's a a very interesting proposal with Aki's piano and drums. Aki's video version has only pianos, but the album version is more dynamic. Good cover of a good song.
