Modern Covers of Classics


I'm putting together a playlist of covers just because I'm a little bored of my current playlists. There are plenty of threads on this but I'm looking for more modern covers. Some examples I already have are:

Dancing in the Dark - Biz Colletti

Don't come around here no more - Rhianna Giddens

You Can't always get what you want  - Lainey Wilson

Cindy I'll marry you some day - Robert Plant

Paint it Black - Wednesday Addams ( I know, weird, but compelling for some reason

Any suggestions?

Can’t believe no one has mentioned Scary Pockets & Pomplamoose, the LA-based cover bands that continually churn out terrific covers. Examples:

Pomplamoose/Moby’s "Extreme Ways" (with Moby on keyboards). This was on the soundtrack of THE BOURNE IDENTITY:

Scary Pockets/Judith Hill’s great cover of Aerosmith’s "Walk This Way" (with Oz Noy on guitar):

And then there’s Morgan James, the one-woman cover factory. Here’s her cover of the Beatles’ "Back in the USSR" (a tune not often covered):

And her superior cover of Clapton’s "Lay Down Sally":

There are so many more out there. I listen to a lot of covers.
