That whole Cat Power Sings Dylan recreation of the Royal Albert Hall is just great.
Modern Covers of Classics
I'm putting together a playlist of covers just because I'm a little bored of my current playlists. There are plenty of threads on this but I'm looking for more modern covers. Some examples I already have are:
Dancing in the Dark - Biz Colletti
Don't come around here no more - Rhianna Giddens
You Can't always get what you want - Lainey Wilson
Cindy I'll marry you some day - Robert Plant
Paint it Black - Wednesday Addams ( I know, weird, but compelling for some reason
Any suggestions?

For me, covers are always at a disadvantage. Memories create a strong bias, so it is difficult for me to prefer a cover... With that said, I found TWO covers that, for me, are as good as or better than the original recordings. Interestingly, both are by the same artist and on the same album: a. River (Joni Mitchel) covered by Sarah McLachan (Wintersong) b. Happy Christmas (War is Over) by John Lennon, again covered by Sarah McLachan (again on Wintersong.
Happy Listening...
