Covering one of my favourite outfits most treasured songs is always bound to pique my interest. Joe Sneva’s rendition of ‘Dreams’ is so brilliantly evocative, raw, and rugged. The folksy pop rendition from this Seattle artist is reserved and measured, yet wholly expressive in the most powerful and earthy way. The simple acoustic melody, the soft and supple delivery in the vocals just add layers upon layers to this cover in such blissful melody. Of course, even attempting a cover of such a treasured and loved tune is bound to colour your opinion of the artist before you hear it. While the original is simply unmatched in the perfection that Dolores was, Sneva does a great job in creating and crafting his own mood and melancholy behind the piece.
