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?

In either case, 100 proof American Rock 'n' Roll!

The Rock ’n Roll re-imagining by Dave Edmunds: https://youtu.be/xnzRhAy62cI?si=G8ruvRRgvoFzrRl9
Believe it or not, Dave’s version reached number 1 on the UK charts and number 4 in the U.S.A., both in 1970. Is 1970 "modern"? A timeless classic, anyway. And as with every other song on his debut solo album entitled Rockpile, every voice and instrument by Dave himself.
