The fourth cover song leading up to the release of Black Clouds & Silver Linings has just been released, and can be obtained from iTunes or Amazon.com. Take Your Fingers From My Hair, originally composed & performed by Zebra, appeared for the first time on the 1984 self-titled album: Zebra.
- Take Your Fingers From My Hair cover by Dream Theater
Zebra is a hard rock band that came together in 1975 in New Orleans, Louisiana. It features Randy Jackson (guitar and vocals), Felix Hanemann (bass, keyboards and vocals) and Guy Gelso (drums and vocals). Their mainstream debut on Atlantic Records was in 1983, highlighted by the singles “Tell Me What You Want” and “Who’s Behind The Door”. Like Twisted Sister, Zebra cut their teeth on the East Coast club circuit, frequently playing at clubs on Long Island, NY.
Zebra started their career by playing covers of Led Zeppelin, Moody Blues and Rush songs: it was their early fans’ reaction to their Led Zeppelin renditions that helped convince the band to bring their act to New York.
This cover release marks the imminent launch of Black Clouds & Silver Linings on 6/23/2009 -only two weeks away now. Also, as with all the previous cover songs released by Dream Theater, there is a small PR stunt by Mike Portnoy talking about the track. Enjoy!

Zebra has always been one of my FAVORITE bands, and although their latest release was mired by political posturing and anti-religious nonsense, it’s good to hear that Dream Theater remembers what Zebra once was.
