Covers Good and Bad

[DougO 5243]

 

[Guest]

I enjoyed the different 'heaviness.'  Not better than original, IMHO.  Serviceable work  though...

 

[Mdhorn 5947]

Greg Brown singing Richard Thompson's 1952 Vincent Black Lightning.    

[closetohumping 17435]

Hunter Hayes absolutely crushed yellow brick road.  Google it bros 

[DougO 5243]

 

[jimmyjazz 45888]

Definitely in the "good cover" category:  Phil Collins Big Band covering Average White Band's "Pick Up The Pieces".  Nice, tight groove there by Phil.

 

[HiggyBaby 2529]

SIAP but this one’s damn good. Never heard of Lucy Dacus until I heard this the other night. You probably have to like the original though.

By "this one", you mean...?

I fell down a Paul McCartney rabbit hole on YouTube.  This performance was very surprising.  I have long held that Aerosmith was a brief glimmer of rock greatness followed by decades of shite, and Steven Tyler never did anything to dispel that thought, but holy crap he sings the daylights out of these songs in front of Macca and the usual star-studded Kennedy Centers Honors crowd.  Well done, Mr. Tyler.

Don't remember how I first heard of these guys... most likely on this thread. But it doesn't get any better than this.

I've seen them twice in Dallas.  Very talented.  Covering some rocking Chicago, EW&F, Ides of March, and more.  Not just ballads like this song.

And Ksenia Buzina, the female vocalist (and "shaker" on Introduction) seems to be rather, uh, talented!

[HiggyBaby 2529]

Surely this one is worth a mention if only because of the video

[closetohumping 17435]

Siap

 

Rolling Stones butchered my girl and just my imagination.  They should get sued for that

[Rip76 4925]

Good

 

[squib 1120]

Just heard this for the first time as a cover. Fantastic. Very different vibe.

 

[tbone_ 14111]

I’m going to call this a pretty damn good cover - Maren Morris - Mona Lisa’s and Mad Hatters

[jimmyjazz 45888]

Yeah, she can definitely sing.  Seems a little more connected to real music than a lot of Nashville superstars.

[TwiceHorn 31438]

Had forgotten this.  I love genre-benders so much.

[Lurch 5922]

Volbeat did a pretty good job with this Metallica cover on their new album

[closetohumping 17435]

Lots of great covers of “don’t dream it’s over”. This is a good one, cross posting:

 

 

[Tom 2959]

Every now and again I always find myself revisiting these two covers performed by The National.

 

 

 

[Earl Haffler 590]

Neil Young cover.

 

 

[Earl Haffler 590]

Mama always told me not to look into the eyes of the sun.

That's awesome.

[Macanudo 12975]

Thought this was a pretty cool reinvention of a Zeppelin classic:

Yeah, that was great, thanks.  I had to look up "Buffalo Nichols" -- seems he's a blues artist who recently relocated to Austin from Milwaukee.

That gal from New Zealand flat out wails, and of course Susan Tedeschi is on a very short list of gifts from God.  Man, I love her voice.

[Chad 1728]

Occasionally I dig one of the juiced up pop hit covers.

 

[jimmyjazz 45888]

The drummer in this trio is an acquaintance of mine, here he is playing "War Pigs" with Phil X and Dan Spriewald at Dave Grohl's studio:

 

[Judge Roybeanbag 11819]

Cover of a Woodie Guthrie original...

Uh . . .

[DougO 5243]

 

[jimmyjazz 45888]

OK, about halfway through that abominable cover I thought "wait, is that Rick Springfield"?

The answer is "yes".

I looked them up -- not only is it Rick Springfield, the bassist later founded Little River Band.

[83Horn 1640]

Oh...wicked, bad, naughty, evil, Zoot.

Yep. I saw it referenced in yesterday Professor Of Rock youtube thing.

tell me these versions don’t work

[tomahawk dunk 321]

 

[ocugolf 1214]

Cody Canada playing REK’s Shades of Gray is surprisingly awesome. It’s on the Undone: A Musicfest Tribute.

There. Are you happy?

[Macanudo 12975]

NSIAP....

 

Rick Astley - Everlong (Foo Fighters Cover):

 

[jimmyjazz 45888]

Damn.  Nice voice.

[Macanudo 12975]

Yep.   He's not bad.

 

 

 

[DougO 5243]

I'm surprised I had not heard this tribute project before tonight. 

 

 

[WhatTheBuck 28775]

Cross-posting from the Grateful Dead thread. Hard to Handle, 6/21/71, Chateau d’Herouville - Herouville, France.

 

[jimmyjazz 45888]

What a trainwreck.  I will never understand why anyone thinks The Grateful Dead offered anything of value to the world.  Gah.

[DougO 5243]

Skunk also on vocals in this one is actually pretty badass.
