Obadiah Parker are a three piece band from Arizona with Mat Weddle as the lead vocalist and guitarist. Now, let's face it, there have been so many artists that have covered this song "Hey Ya" which, of course, was a hit from Outkast's 2003 double album 'Speakerboxxx/The Love Below' and not all of them are memorable. Coincidently, the band on the previous blog 'Cocoon' were one of the artists that have covered it, quite successfully. But Obadiah Parker really nailed it.... their folk acoustic version is second to none. Even Andre 3000 from Outkast made positive comments about it. A great example of taking a song to a totally different place, while still giving it the credit it deserves.
