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

Here are a couple of covers that I really enjoy. Both are on the same album too.....

From Brain Auger's Oblivion Express album - "Compared to What" and "Inner City Blues".

"Compared to What" is a Les McCann song, first recorded by McCann and later by Roberta Flack. The Brian Auger version takes the original jazz version into Jazz/Rock fusion territory.

Of course "Inner City Blues" is a Marvin Gaye song off of the incredible album "What's Going On". Auger takes the original R&B tune again in to Jazz/Rock fusion territory.

I've had the Brain Auger record since sometime in the '70s and I still enjoy it regularly. 

Off of Mick Jagger "Wandering Spirit" lp , probably my favorite tune here is "Evening Gown". Alejandro Escovedo does it justice, maybe better!

Jenny Lewis cover of "Handle With Care"!

"Little Wing" - Stevie Ray Vaughan - One of my favorite covers

Also (and a little embarrassed to admit) I *really* like The Scorpion's rendition of "Can't Explain"

Rickie Lee Jones cover of Jefferson Airplane's "Comin' Back to Me"

Mathew Sweet & Susannah Hoffs cover of Bee Gees "Run to Me"

Herbie Hancock feat. Corrine Bailey Rae's cover of Joni's "River"

Amber Rubarth's cover of REM's "Losing My Religion"

Yes's cover of Simon & Garfunkel's "America"
