In this James Bond Theme song BOTB edition, Alicia Keys recorded Another Way To Die written by Jack White, for the 007 spy flick, Quantum of Solace (2008).  This was the year our youngest daughter (DD#2) graduated high school.  I remember the movie and we eventually saw it but the theme song nope and after playing the track still nothing! WOW, what does that tell me?  For starters, the song wasn’t impressive and it certainly has no resemblance of a James Bond theme song other than the title but I’m not here to criticize the poor decision making of the filmmakers.  Although, I could rant on I won’t.  This isn’t a movie review, but a sing off between two cover artists doing the same song.  I will put my views aside to do my best to bring you an interesting Battle of the Bands. 

The first contestant is YouTuber Colour the Atlas with their 2015 upload of today’s James Bond Theme song. 

Staying with my YouTube search because let’s face it, there are few covers of this song and with good reason but I’ll say this much for contender #1 and the next group coming up in my opinion, both covers are better than the original.  Please listen to The Wheel Turns’ 2016 rendition.

I considered throwing in a third contender, The Hit Co.,  but with attendance in Blogosphere running slow and low, not that I am pointing any fingers because I’m absent a lot lately in cyberspace, I decided against it feeling it would only complicate things.  

Polls close noon (EST) on October 6th

Next week, I will reveal the winner in this showdown. Jot down that date to see if your favorite artist won. Up next, I’ll open the 4M dance floor linky party tomorrow for the early birds and this will give all co-hosts the chance to add his/her direct link to the party. My actual music post won’t go live until Monday morning. This is CAAC signing off, have a bandtastic day! X💋X💋, Cathy
