Thomas Bartlett
By Andy Vihstadt
Published on July 10, 2008
Ever wonder what life would be like if Kevin Bacon hadn't saved America's small-town kids from anti-dancing legislation? It might sound a bit like Thomas Bartlett's song-for-song cover of the Footloose soundtrack. Along with fronting the New York outfit Doveman, Bartlett has tickled the ivories for Antony & the Johnsons, the National and David Byrne. Download his minimalist re-creation for free from dovemanmusic.com. It won't inspire you to dance away your frustrations in an abandoned mill, but it will probably trump next year's 25th anniversary, big-screen remake starring that High School Musical dude.
