Use Somebody from the Kings of Leon is one cool song. Great hook, lingering oh-oh-ohs, emphatic lyrics.
Guess what? Many other bands and artistes think so too. So much so, there's a flurry of acoustic cover scouring Youtube. Mostly female lead voices. Good renditions with their own inflexions and guitar work. Nice.
Like the song? Go buy the CD - Kings of Leon's Only By The Night. Grammy nominated. Critically acclaimed. Despite the way they sound and their European success, they're American. Like the Killers. Maybe US music isn't all about rap and twinkle pop after all.
