Slow news day around these parts....
A new music video dropped today commemorating the highly anticipated (kidding) release of an Engelbert Humperdinck rock covers album.
It features footage of Cain plinking and plonking away in his Florida estate. This ring-cam quality footage is interspliced with the spiffily-dressed nonagenarian troubadour singing in front of a green-screen version of a dystopian mall parking garage (or something). Maybe he's lost in the Backrooms?
It's hard to know what prompted this kitschy collaboration....
Is it a fast payday for Cain or something more?
Both Hump and Cain use guitarist, Keven Eknes, for live shows.
I once saw a photo of Humperdinck hanging up at the band's Oakland rehearsal warehouse. I figured SP, as a fellow crooner, was the huge fan.
Cain has previously said that he can't get the Journey power ballad covered and has approached everyone from Garth Brooks to Faith Hill.
“I can’t get it covered,” laughs Cain. “I guess they’re afraid of the original. It is a great song.”
Where others have flinched in the face of fear, the 90-year old (!) UK pop singer has now answered the call.
