Modern Covers of Classics
I'm putting together a playlist of covers just because I'm a little bored of my current playlists. There are plenty of threads on this but I'm looking for more modern covers. Some examples I already have are:
Dancing in the Dark - Biz Colletti
Don't come around here no more - Rhianna Giddens
You Can't always get what you want - Lainey Wilson
Cindy I'll marry you some day - Robert Plant
Paint it Black - Wednesday Addams ( I know, weird, but compelling for some reason
Any suggestions?

Can’t believe no one has mentioned Scary Pockets & Pomplamoose, the LA-based cover bands that continually churn out terrific covers. Examples: Pomplamoose/Moby’s "Extreme Ways" (with Moby on keyboards). This was on the soundtrack of THE BOURNE IDENTITY: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0OWyoXNjcw&list=RDs0OWyoXNjcw&start_radio=1 Scary Pockets/Judith Hill’s great cover of Aerosmith’s "Walk This Way" (with Oz Noy on guitar): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFddsP_-mqU And then there’s Morgan James, the one-woman cover factory. Here’s her cover of the Beatles’ "Back in the USSR" (a tune not often covered): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJsUV2Nfv5E And her superior cover of Clapton’s "Lay Down Sally": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HBLeEJzZfqE There are so many more out there. I listen to a lot of covers. |
