Well Covered

[Sox]

Covers again, but ones you enjoy and think do justice to the song. Sometimes the original takes a bit of beating but some covers are very close and some are better. See what crops up.

A Taste Of Honey .. great tune covered by many artists, my thinking is The Beatles did a really top notch job and Lenny Welch was a hard act to follow.

 

[Hydrazoic Acid]

The Everly Brothers Love Hurts. Great original, but Nazareth's cover was just stratospheric!!!

 

[Sharp Dressed Man]

Steve Earle's excellent "Goodbye" brought to a whole new level by Emmylou Harris

 

[Tray73]

Good call Hydra!

I'll have to think about this Could easily post the usual like Joe Cocker's cover of With a Little Help from My Friends or Hendrix's version of All Along the Watchtower, but I'll try and think of something a bit different.

Ok my first pick for this thread...

I reckon The Ramones did a sterling job of The Doors' Take It As It Comes

 

[Sox]

^^Excellent choices.

Here's Bob Seger "Rosalie"


And Thin Lizzy

 

[recgord27]

One of my favourite covers ever, Zeppelins Stairway To Heaven done by Ann and Nancy Wilson of Heart. A phenomenal version that brings a new perspective to this overplayed classic

I never really liked this song at all, but when the Foo Fighters covered it I took notice. I think they hit it out of the park.

 

[Sweaty]

I reckon the Crowes did a proper job on this one...

Black Crowes - Hard To Handle



Otis Redding - Hard To Handle

Jeff Beck's instrumental cover of the Beatles' A Day in the Life.
Lynyrd Skynyrd's cover of J J Cale's Call Me the Breeze.
