I've been on a cover kick lately, most the time they are never as good as the original but sometimes they can surprise.

Wolf Like Me - Local H (originally TV on the Radio


Piano Man - Andrew McMahon (Billy Joel) - There is better versions of this and a studio but this one has some funny parts in it.

Paranoid - Queens of the stone age (Sabbith)

Tiny Dancer - Dave Grohl (Elton John)
https://youtu.be/oGpRD2bLxY0

Joey - Local H (Concrete Blonde)

Keep adding to them, I just did the last five i've listened to from my playlist.

Jimmi Hendrix's All along the Watchtower by Bob Dylan or Johnny Cash's cover of Hurt by Nine Inch Nails are two of my favourite cover songs.

It's kind of a pet hate of mine when the original artist is not publicly credited when a cover song is re-released. So many people, kids especially, are duped into assuming that a new band or artist is responsible for writing it.

This is one of my all time favorites. And I go back and forth on if it is better than the original

Void, that Hayseed Dixie was cracking me up! Do they have any great originals? They seem to have good instrumental and vocal talent, and I'm curious if they also have great musical talent as well. I dig the mouth harp on Runnin' With The Devil. Classic.

I don't know much about any of them other than I am finding myself adding a lot of that shit to my ride (street and dirt) videos I've been putting together. There's a ton of that bluegrass rock cover stuff out on YouTube. I actually find myself getting in to most of it. Smile
