Song covers that are better than the originals

Adding one more:

Medeski, Martin and Wood, doing Hendrix's "Hey Joe"

John

"You Keep Me Hanging On"- Vanilla Fudge

"A Hillbilly Tribute to Mountain Love" by Hayseed Dixie.
Ever think that what was missing from "Walk This Way" was a little jews harp and fiddle? "Fat Bottom Girls" really needed a some hot mandolin licks? Do you like to drink?
If you answered yes to any of these questions you might like this cd. Or love their live show.

Dekay, your 'Smoke On The Water" is truly awesome.
I got such a kick out of that!

Personally, I am a big fan of The Bad Plus' covers - they've done everyone. I like Iron Man (Black Sabbath), Chariots of Fire (Vangelis), their live version of Tom Sawyer (Rush) is great, and Smells Like Teen Spirit (Nirvana) is one of their great songs. Youtubing is actually kind of hit-and-miss - there are some decent ones, but there are some so-so versions of the same songs, so if you don't like the version you see, you can look around for another.

And one other... Gretchen Wilson (fantastic pipes) did a cover of Barracuda with Alice in Chains a few years ago which is fantastic.

easy.....wolfgangsvault.com at 192kbps....great library, high quality stuff.

as a music lover, I think it's the best site I've found in 15 years....makes J River look bad.
