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?

Check out bands 'The Main Squeeze' and 'Leonid and Friends'. The Squeeze will blow you away with Led Zep, and other covers. Leonid, band from Russia does wonderful covers of Chicago, Carpenter, various 70's soul and funk bands. Both bands will chill your soul! YouTube is where you'll find great videos of both bands, Leonid very little on cd or streaming platforms as of now.

77jovian - OMG, thank you!  I'd never heard of Kent (yeah, I'm clueless) but your links (and a bunch of his additional songs) have been playing here for a while.  And they have all just been amazing and outstanding...

 Chantal Chamberland does a whole set of covers; my favorites include Chasing Cars and Miss Sarajevo.

Superb musicianship but be advised that what they offer are note-perfect duplications, as opposed to "reinterpretations" or "re-visions". 

Personally, I never much cared for Chicago. Do I like Leonid? You bet I do!
