When Pigs Fly (Cevin Soling album)
When Pigs Fly: Songs You Never Thought You'd Hear is a compilation album[1] devised and produced by musician Cevin Soling in 2002.[2][3] The album is a collection of popular songs recorded by artists considered unlikely to cover them. OverviewAfter Soling's earlier success recruiting Kevin DuBrow to sing a mellow version of Quiet Riot's "Metal Health" with Soling's band The Neanderthal Spongecake, he came up with the idea for the project and began recruiting musicians to participate.[1][4] The album includes a version of Nat King Cole's "Unforgettable", performed by Ani DiFranco and Jackie Chan, which Soling co-produced with DiFranco; Blondie's "Call Me", as performed by The Box Tops with Alex Chilton; and Peter Gabriel's "Shock the Monkey", sung by Don Ho, which Soling also produced and arranged.[1][3][5] The choice of Devo to record "Ohio" is rather poignant. The protest song deals with the 1970 Kent State Shootings, and band member Gerald Casale was both a student at the university at the time, and an eyewitness to the shootings. [6] Track listing
