Simple and sometimes elegant pop tunes *by C***T on Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2012* Covered and the originals, an excellent way to do it given that most of the covers and most of the originals are probably somewhat difficult to track down individually, so, this is an great 2 x cd set for that reason. I had not yet heard Mr. Johnston. I'm a big fan of Half Japanese but often find solo and collaborative material by Jad Fair to be, uh, indulgent? way too much? somehow insanely attractive to my off kilter self... In this case it's like some pop artists discovered these simple tunes and couldn't help but do a cover, all of which I think are well done. I love hearing the essentially primitive use of just organ and vocals when Mr. Johnston sings. And his actual band is, uh, actually a band along the same general lines of Jad Fair, where he's excentric but there's some musicians who get the tunes, the melodies, the art of it and can back him up appropriately. I found several songs that were touching. I'm not sure I was able to sit through a single original song but several of the covers, with less, uh, startling vocals, I was able to enjoy the easy ride from beginning to end. I'm not sure I'm going to rush out and get more Johnston records but I will buy any I can get my hands on for a nice low price, which is what I usually do anyway. He seems to go a deeper layer lyrically than most including stuff that most of us would likely find to be too sensitive, too pointed about ourselves to include in a song lyric that we then release to the public. But, I get the feeling it's all healing and I know that some of his tunes really are so sweet and hit just right and his boy voice is really nothing like the, well, my 16 year old step son describes Jad Fair's voice as a singing cat. I'd be more fair than that but it certainly is excentric. While Johnston's is just plain startling. I'm glad I got the record and I'm going to be plunging further into it a few times more to find out my favorites. I'm not sure there's any that I just can't really listen to like happens about 1/3 of the time on Jad Fair's solo and collabrative stuff. Now, his work with Half Japanese is virtually always shockingly brilliant, a full band sound typically, that just works fantastically with his approach. I'm delighted to see that other artists were able to find this music and were moved to cover some of the songs. A delightful addition to the library of cds that seem to grow over the years around here. One thing, I don't wanna have cds in the home that I don't like. This one's gonna stay unless I gotta sell some in future years to buy groceries when I'm old. God bless. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Pure Artist -- Honesty has a voice, and it sounds like Daniel! *by A***A on Reviewed in the United States on June 26, 2012* I learned about Daniel Johnston through the documentary "The Devil and Daniel Johnston" a few years ago. His story is fascinating, but it wasn't until I bought this compilation that I really came to appreciate his music. Each and every song is a gem. I can't listen to "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Your Grieviance" without smiling from ear to ear or "Story of an Artist" without a little sigh.The dual CD with the originals and the covers is a great idea. I like the covers (especially "Dream Scream" covered by Death Cab for Cutie), but I keep coming back to the original versions. They are so visceral and compelling. Just buy it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great album! *by M***B on Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2020* CD came brand new, as described! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/16120226-the-late-great-daniel-johnston-discovered-covered](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/16120226-the-late-great-daniel-johnston-discovered-covered) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
