REVIEW from [ Pure Pop Radio ] 
Brady Harris | Ukulele Days 
We’ve been happily playing Brady Harris’s music on Pure Pop Radio for many years, enjoying his creativity and melodic gifts, album after album. So it was with great pleasure that we played this new album, released just two weeks ago. Centered around the glorious sounds of the ukulele, this entrancing mix of originals and covers makes for a beautiful listening experience. From his gorgeous cover of Brian and Carl Wilson’s “Good Timin’,” which features Brady’s vocal harmony stacks to magical effect, to the perfect-for-a-summer’s-day sojourn, banjo accented “Welcome Me Back,” this is one of the best albums we’ve heard in a long while. We’re playing the entire run of songs, including the ones just mentioned. And: “‘Til the End of Days,” “Wear Your Love Like Heaven,” “Save Yer Love for Me,” “I’ll Miss These Days,” “Right Down the Line,” “End of May,” “Points of View,” “Lauren, Lauren,” “This Boy,” “Bring Flower Power Back,” and the wonderful instrumental, “Camarillo Beach,” which wouldn’t have been out of place on the Beach Boys’ Pet Sounds album. Nice job, Brady. Very, very nice.

RIPPLE EFFECT (Full Review):

There’s two lines of thought on a cover album. One says you play it straight; that the greatest feat is to really play like the band being covered. The other goes the exact opposite way. Re-interpret the song in as radical a style as you can. Run it through your own musical blender, pour out the contents across your stylings, and see how it tastes. Personally, I prefer, the later. There’s nothing as much fun as hearing a song you know and love, totally re-imagined in bold and startling ways. That’s what Brady Harris does. 

A low-key, rootsy singer/songwriter from Texas, on Cover Charge Brady takes some of the most unexpected songs you can imagine a cowboy songsmith to be singing and turns them into startlingly new pieces of music. Versions no person could resist. 

So what am I talking about? How about a warm and languid version of Madonna’s “Like a Virgin,” sung perfectly straight without any Weird Al irrelevance. It’s a fantastic, absolutely addictive version. As is his slide-guitar, lazy version of Duran Duran’s “Rio.” Under Brady’s vision, The Clash’s “Spanish Bombs,” takes on a full, over-the-hills country charm, But nothing can ever be as just flat out perfect as his low-toned, deep acoustic and slide guitar version of Motorhead’s “Ace of Spades.” I played this one for Pope and he was stunned by the brilliance in this interpretation of the track. The true strength of Lemmy's song writing becomes oh, so apparent. Truly, a cover masterpiece.
