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: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0OWyoXNjcw&list=RDs0OWyoXNjcw&start_radio=1 Scary Pockets/Judith Hill’s great cover of Aerosmith’s "Walk This Way" (with Oz Noy on guitar): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFddsP_-mqU 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): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJsUV2Nfv5E And her superior cover of Clapton’s "Lay Down Sally": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HBLeEJzZfqE There are so many more out there. I listen to a lot of covers. |
"Groovin' Is Easy" by The Third Mind on their second album, The Third Mind/2. Totally acid-rock music genre, done in a current day recording sound quality. The album was released in 2023. I first heard that song by The Electric Flag, in 1968. As a very young teenager it really stuck with me, played that album a million times. Still loving it, but sounding very "new" on this cover, and certainly with much better SQ. |
Check out bands 'The Main Squeeze' and 'Leonid and Friends'. The Squeeze will blow you away with Led Zep, and other covers. Leonid, band from Russia does wonderful covers of Chicago, Carpenter, various 70's soul and funk bands. Both bands will chill your soul! YouTube is where you'll find great videos of both bands, Leonid very little on cd or streaming platforms as of now. |
