My favorite cover was by an art teacher
from the twin cities playing a small venue
in central Wisconsin. He played his version
of Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah that blows away
any artist that ever did that song hands down.
He started playing it right after a break so the crowd
was still a little noisy but they quickly quieted down
to the point you could hear a pin drop. It was actually
quiet for a few seconds after he was done because
the audience was just stunned. I have never heard
anything better.
