Okay this is it for awhile.

My Secret Shame
 

I try not to talk about it, but I love this song. I have downloaded a ton of versions of it. One of my favorites is:

In honor of Ben E. King who died on April 30.

Etta James covers a Kiki Dee song

Wild Night- by John Mellencamp (original by Van Morrison)

One of my favorite songs, and I love this video.... and I have tickets to see John Mellencamp at the end of this month!!

Born Under Bad Sign written for Albert King and recorded by him in 1967

I freaking LOVE covers.

Here are some of my favorites off the top of my head:

Needle's version of Neil Young's Helpless:


Johnny Cash singing Bruce Springsteen:


Patty Griffin singing Bruce Springsteen:


Watson Twins sing the cure:


And this is an especially beautiful heartbreaking cover - J.T. Van Zandt singing his dad's song:

Tim Buckley (1970) - Song to the Siren

Covered by: 4AD's, This Mortal Coil (ft. Elisabeth Frasier).




♡♡♡

Coltrane's cover of "My Favorite Things" has long been one of my favorite things.

Pete Seeger, King Solomon and I guess God, all had a hand in the composition of this song.

Covered by The Byrds.

The Pretenders cover Morrissey

Love, love this soulful version of "Bell Bottom Blues" (originally performed by Derek and the Dominoes & written by Eric Clapton)

Brandi Carlile covers ...Radiohead's ~ Creep {sigh}
 

love.
 

NOT a swift fan but I am diggin this version, like a lot.

Britney who?
 

I didn't know this was a cover when she recorded this for my local station. A wonderful thing about covers is finding songs I didn't know existed.

I was breathless afterwards...
 

Another Jolene cover and a personal favorite. Not everyone's cup of tea, however, as one comment below the video states, "What in the absolute hell was that? I feel like I need to Silkwood shower after listening."

cover band in dallas...ok maybe not the greatest cover...but i like it :)

p.s. i think i was prolly there that nite :)


p.p.s. sorry must watch it on you tube the link is https://youtu.be/efY_z0XM2Qs?list=PL507AC4219150A5F2

Maybe technically it's not totally a cover since the guy who wrote and recorded the song, Carlos Vives, sings a little on this version for PFC. But still close enough...

I know, I know, enough with the PFC already. I just like these though.

The song back in the day called ( fifty ways to leave your lover ). :-)

I've always liked this cover.
