Best Covers

Heartbreak Hotel..........Jeff Beck and Rod Stewart.....WOW!

I forgot to say that I really like Lucinda Williams’ cover of The Games People Play.

At a concert back in ’99 at which Lucinda was opening for Tom Petty, she told us (the crwod) that she really like Tom Petty’s cover of (Lucinda’s) Changed The Locks.

I also really like Emmy Lou Harris’s cover of Lucinda’s Sweet Old World.

Three come to mind,

Smokestack Lightin' with The Yardbirds covering Howlin' Wolf.  Burnett even said it was the best version of his song.

Tje Allman Brothers Band covering Taj Majal's version of Statesboro Blues, which became their signature tune during Duane's leadership of the band.  Tah dis not write the song, but listen to his version and you can see where they got theirs.

Finally, Dolly Parton covering everybody, aometimes with the original artist on her new rock album. 

The entire Playing for Change series on YouTube. Amazing covers of many songs including The Weight, Gimme Shelter, Ripple, Doctor My Eyes, When the Levee Breaks, Soulshine, Higher Ground, Stir It Up, and others.

Teagan and Sarah covering Dancing In The Dark is kind of cute.
