Linda Ronstadt: Tumblin' Dice
what’s a song cover that you think is better than the original?
The first ones to come to mind are Whitney’s version of I Will Always Love You and Allen Stone’s Georgia On My Mind but I would love to hear other contributions as well! I feel like there are a lot of songs where a covered version gets more popular than the original and people end up not realizing that it is a cover (ex. i had a friend that genuinely believed the Jonas Brothers wrote Year 3000). so, what‘a a song that was written by one artist but (figuratively) owned by another?

While everything I was thinking was already mentioned, I just wanted to say how much fun this thread has been to read! And @dekay , Smoke on the water was fabulous! I went down the rabbit hole and watched several of her videos. Thanks for sharing. |
Patricia Barber Nardis (Miles Davis) Stones Love in Vain (Rob't Johnson) Leo Kotke Pamela Brown (Tom T Hall) Led Zepelin When The Levee Breaks (Memphis Minnie) Simple Twist of Fate Sarah Jarosz (Dylan) Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands Joan Baez (Dylan) These last two are the only Dylan covers worthy of note IMHO.
