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...
