    I use that "Dreams I'll Never See" cover to help audition new audio equipment.  It has tons of clarity and just sounds fantastic. CSB:  I was editor of our HS newspaper my junior and senior years

    Heh . . . Miles Davis, playing just a bit sharp.  That never happens.  Man, he had taste, though. This isn't a cover, but I don't care, if you have the time, rewind to the beginning of the clip t

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

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.

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...?

Oops


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!

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


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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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:

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.

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

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

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

There. Are you happy?

NSIAP....

 

Rick Astley - Everlong (Foo Fighters Cover):

 

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

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

 

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

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