Same song different artist. Which ones do you love? LP


I just love hearing songs by different artist, that I already love and the different renditions that they offer. To get this started here are a few of mine. Baby Blue by, Bob Dylan, Van Morrison and Badfinger(love the fact that the Breaking Bad series ended with this one). I Put A Spell On You by, Screaming Jay Hawkins, CCR, Annie Lennox, Van Morrison and Marilyn Manson. Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood by, The Animals, Elvis Costello Ronnie Spector. OK your turn.

Antje Duvekot's covers of "Mercedes Benz" & "Fat -Bottom Girls" (right up there w Martykl's nomination for most unlikely cover).
+1 for Zevon's cover of "Knockin' on Heavens Door". 
How about the many covers of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah", Dylan's "All Along the Watchtower", "Don't Think Twice It's Alright" & "I Shall Be Released", John Prine's "Angel from Montgomery", John Fogerty's "Lodi", Cyndi Lauper's "Time After Time".
Another favorite cover of mine is Emmy Lou Harris singing Stephan Foster's "Hard Times Come Again No More".




Van Morrison's cover of Comfortably Numb
+1 to Jimi Hendrix's version of All Along The Watchtower

Bettye Lavette / Most of the time 
Cat Power / Amazing Grace
Eddie From Ohio / I know you rider
Jennifer Warnes / Bird on a wire
Dave Matthews Band / All along the watchtower
Carter USM / Another brick in the wall
Les Claypool & Chris Robinson / Battle of New Orleans 
 
There are so many great covers done over the years of Dylan songs, Leonard Cohen songs, etc. Too many to list. So, I'll give you a few less know covers that I really like.

"No Diggity" - Chet Faker's soulful version of the Blackstreet R&B/Rap hit.

"Drive All Night" - Glen Hansard's version of the Springsteen song from The River.

"Down to Zero" - Bettye Lavette's version of the Joan Armatrading song.

"Crying" - Adrian Belew's excellent acoustic version of the Roy Orbison hit.

Enjoy,

Drive all Night by Springsteen is such a raw, emotional, genuine song. Always speaks to me.
