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?

Seu George's covers of David Bowie. Also Butterfly Boucher's cover of Changes that Bowie liked so much he dubbed in additional vocals on it. 

The Under the Covers series by Susanna Hoffs and Dave Matthews.

There's always Bryan Ferry.

If you're interested in more traditional interpretations of the Broadway-Hollywood-Tin Pan Alley repertoire the various Smithsonian songwriter anthologies will lead you to singers you might thought of. Like for instance:

Matthew Sweet, Dave Matthews, whatever, he's obviously not the main attraction.

The fellow suggesting the full album cover of Dark Side of the Moon brings to mind Petra Haden singing ever vocal and instrumental part of The Who Sell Out. Petra Haden in general is someone to look into.
