Best Covers

Getting back to the topic of this thread, here are a couple of my favorite covers of Slim Harpo’s classic "Shake Your Hips", both of which make The Stone’s version sound tepid.

Joan Osborne’s version is smokin’ hot, live in a radio station with her great band. The Legendary Shack Shakers is kind of a Garage Band version, and I love it too.

I wish Willy DeVille had recorded the song.

Speaking of Joan Osborne:  I have a live CD of hers that I bought strictly for her cover of Son Of A Preacher Man.  I cannot remember if I already listed that on this thread, but if I did, it's so good it's worth listing twice.

Damn -- Joan Osborn's version is smokin' !  !  !  

Covers of Springsteen's stuff that I like (I may have mentioned some of them, but they are so good they are worth mentioning twice) :   Steve Earle did an interesting cover of Mr. State Trooper and The Cowboy Junkies did a neat cover of it as well.  The Cowboy Junkies also did a kickas cover of Thunder Road.  Tori Amos did a nice cover of I'm On Fire, and Tegan And sara did a cover of Dancing In The Dark that always makes me smile.
