Big Linda Cover Glass Onion

Track: Glass Onion

Artist: Big Linda

MOJO says: The sound of a match lighting, nefarious bubbling and a Sabbath-styled Sweat Leaf cough underlines the fact that London-based four-piece Big Linda are there for the heavy things in life. And yet, despite their crunching roots rock, this version of Lennon’s referential track is delivered in with menace and poise in equal measure, not to mention a taught Gilmour-esque guitar solo.

Listen to a 30 second clip below!

  • This was the first track that interested me. After what I'd consider practically droning, this splash in the face made me realize this album was worth my time. Soon, I found a lot to love about this disc.

  • A great interpretation of Glass Onion - the best thing on the album. Nice to see someone take a Beatles tune by the scruff of the neck and turn it into something way more interesting. Will be checking out your album!

  • Glass Onion like I have never heard it before. This is so refreshing after all these years. It is the best cover on the album by far. Big Linda should be as big as the Atlas mountains! More please.....
