Sliding into Tuesday felt like it needed a little elegance, so I queued up Colin Blunstone’s smooth‑as‑fresh‑pavement cover of Tracks of My Tears. One of the all‑time great songs — the kind you can’t even hum without accidentally feeling profound — and the voice of the Zombies does exactly what you expect: floats in like a polite ghost and makes everything sound expensive.
I could have done without that drum track, which arrives like someone in the studio said, “Hey, should we add something that absolutely no one asked for?” But Blunstone’s vocals more than make up for it. He could sing a grocery list and still make you rethink your dinner plans. A classy Tuesday glide, minor percussion crimes notwithstanding.
