Best Covers

Jerry Garcia, Whiskey in the jar.

An excellent cover.

Years ago a friend gave me a CD with 14 different versions of Sympathy for the Devil and now of them was the Rolling Stone’s cover.  The one by Jonathon Round was particularly disturbing.  I just did a search and there’s thirty plus versions.

-"Fellin Alright" Joe Cocker

-"Reelin in the Years" Brooklyn Charmers (on YouTube studio version)

-"Not Dark Yet" Lucinda Williams (on You Tube" )

"A Case of You", Diane Krall on Live from Paris album.

I nominate J. Cash's cover of "The Mercy Seat" a cover of Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds from the 1988 release Tender Prey. On the lighter side, Any cover that I've heard by Big Head Todd And The Monsters, or Lake Street Dive has been excellent (both BHTATM, and Lake Street Dive get mucho play at my house, most of the catalog is on CD)...

my little garage punk band did Leonard Cohen's "Teachers" my favorite, since I got to croak it.
