Favorite Cover Album

Fruit Bats "Siamese Dream"

I need new glasses, or I'm becoming Emily Litella. I was starting to post the COVER of the Dead album Aoxomoxoa. Now that I've escaped this embarrassment--"never mind."

The Beatles Second Album

Nanci Griffith-Voices From Another Room

Jennifer Warnes-Famous Blue Raincoat

Til the Night is Gone-A Tribute to Doc Pomus

Another favorite of mine, for awesomely awful covers is the CD called “Golden Throats: The Great Celebrity Singoff.”  It includes two William Shatner numbers: “Mr. Tambourine Man” and “Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds”, Mae West doing “Twist and Shout”, Andy Griffith doing “House of the Rising Sun”, and a whole lot more.

William Shatner, I love it.  Is there anything he can’t do, besides sing lol. 

Willie Nelson's album of Kris Kristofferson tunes (don't recall the name).

I like some of the tunes on Deadicated but to my ears, it's wildly inconsistent (like the Dead). My favorite track is Dwight Yoakam's killer cover of "Truckin"". The first time I heard that, it was a revelation. I thought "He'll yeah -- that's how it's supposed to sound"!
