By now, everyone and their mother has heard Smash Mouth's forever-hit "All Star". It's been synced in enough commercials, movies and shows to give it everlasting life, on top of it being just a perfectly written, pop-rock anthem. Since its release over 25 years ago, there have been plenty of remixes, reimagining and covers of the track, few of which have been worth remembering.
Then along comes Philadelphia folk artist M Sparks, who by his own words may not be for everyone. And yet, he has tackled the track in his own bluesy, folksy way and it sounds great. Accompanied by just a finger-picked acoustic guitar, some light fiddling, and Sparks' idiosyncratic vocals, the track sounds like the perfect closer for an evening hoe-down, or just something to be played on a back porch on a warm summer evening. I think Steve Harwell would have loved it.
