Best version ever.  Petty was absolutely seething underneath.  10 days after 9/11.

I’ve never heard the original version, but I submit this:

Damn.  Thanks for posting.  Goosebumps in the beginner and a tear in the end.

That's Howie Epstein, who was (physically and in other ways) just a shadow of his former self by 2001, when that tribute concert occurred.  I had to look pretty close myself at the video to satisfy myself that it was him.  Howie died less than 2 years later.

Speaking of jew fros (Mike Bloomfield), this is a hell of a cover.

I wouldn’t call it better, but this is an excellent one:

This is outstanding. And it reaffirms my assertion that Mike Campbell has never wasted a single note his entire career.

Today I learned Torn was written an originally released in Danish.  Explains the non-rhyming format.

More dudes with fros.

I just learned that George Harrison gave My Sweet Lord to Billy Preston to record. Billy’s version is great, but the live version with Buddy Miles is over the top.

Don't really know if you can consider these better but they are fantastic for what they are.   

 

 

 

I dig these cats a lot.  I appreciate the shit out of musicians who can turn a song into a completely different genre without ruining it.  These guys fucking kick ass.

Alicia Blue remakes John Lennon’s “Beautiful Boy” into an Americana lullaby.

[Trey3216 15325]

So I'm sitting on the couch the other night watching movies with my 4 and 3 year old girls.  I'm half ass-checked out and playing on my phone.  We're watching 'Sing'.   I'm listening and I hear this voice and am thinking to myself "man, I've heard this beautiful opera song before".

 

Then I sit up and finally start paying attention and basically say out loud "Holy shit!!! That's Golden Slumbers!!!!"   Jennifer Hudson took this one to her house and put it in the hall closet.
