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?

@jc4659 

amazing recommendation. thank you.

@ezwind +2 on Cat Power Sings Dylan. Have it on vinyl. It could, just could be one of those where the covers give a very close run to the originals...

I love Disturbed's take on the Sound of Silence, but I far prefer the live take on the Conan show to the official studio version linked above

 

Disturbed "The Sound Of Silence" 03/28/16 | CONAN on TBS - YouTube

Enjoy. This one moves my soul.

Did this once before and I had about 100 great ones so not gonna list them all again but, how about Vanessa Fernandez, When The Levee Breaks... all Zepplin covers and really pretty cool from a polar opposite artist & presentation. Recorded well too.

Great thread! Cat Power singing Dylan’s Royal Albert Hall concert and Joan Osborne’s “What Becomes of the Broken-Hearted” were new to me and are amazing. I will listen to more of each. Thanks to @ezwind for Cat Power and to bdp24 for Joan Osborne.

@Viridian: I clicked the link to Pat Boone’s “Stairway to Heaven.” The album cover was worth my time, thanks.
