Favorite cover?
As a (minor) film buff, I almost invariably prefer originals. But when it comes to audio, I have found more than a few covers that I prefer to the originals. So, to kick things off, and with all due respect to Boz Scaggs, I absolutely LOVE this live Incognito version of Lowdown:

Cassandra Wilson, Van Morrison's Tubelo Honey studio version from her amazing 'Blue Light til Dawn' album https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJuKHy64inE music video version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Py0LYQEAs4k terrific musicians, and recording on that album. Also, her version of 'Strange Fruit'. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKJ3MU6tx6Y Billie Holiday original https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Web007rzSOI |
+1 for elliotbnewcombjr's pick of "Famous Blue Raincoat" by Jennifer Warnes. I don't think Jennifer or that album got enough credit for reviving interest in Leonard Cohen's music. While there are a lot of great Leonard Cohen covers out there, my two favorites are Lloyd Cole's versions of "Chelsea Hotel" (from the "I'm Your Fan" tribute CD) and "Famous Blue Raincoat" (from the "Rare On Air - Volume 2" CD). |
