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?

There are some artists who, by virtue of a particularly idiosyncratic vocal approach manage to make any cover sound new. Richie Havens, Joe Cocker, Taj Mahal, Willie Nelson, Janis, Leon Russell, Lucinda Williams and Nina Simone immediately spring to mind.

 

So true!!
