One of the highest honors that can be bestowed on a rock band is to have some other well known act cover your songs.
Here are some of my favorite cover songs: 1. "Well...Alright" (Original by Buddy Holly covered by Blind Faith) 2. "LA Woman" (Original by The Doors covered by Billy Idol) 3. "Love Me 2 Times" (Original by The Doors covered by Aerosmith) 4. "Come On Everybody" (Original by Eddie Cochran covered by Led Zeppelin) 5. "Refugee" (Original by Tom Petty covered by Melissa Etheridge) 6. "The Battle Of Evermore" (Original by Led Zeppelin covered by Heart) 7. "Hard To Handle" (Original by Otis Redding covered by The Black Crowes)
Johnnyswim - "Wicked Games" by Chris Isaak's. The new Johnnyswim CD, Georgica Pond is killer. I can't understand why they are not more famous. Crank this one up if you want to hear how good the Bass is on your system!!!
@toneranger58...THANKS for the heads up on the new johnnyswim album! I LOVE those guys. I first saw them on Live From Daryl's House and was blown away. Very, very talented husband and wife.
