Let's build a playlist: Cover Songs

Originally penned for_Darkness_ but didn’t make the cut. I believe the song is credited to Springsteen and Smith.

You will struggle to hear a better cover of this.

It’s on Tidal Masters.

There are so many! It’s one of my favorite genres. But I LOVE Deva Mahal’s cover of the song her dad covered on Giant Step.

Most anyone covering a Beatles track is an improvement on the original. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Don’t agree with that and that Yesterday cover is especially dreadful.

From the “How I Go” album.

Hard choice to make. Have a bunch of Beatles covers. And a bunch of Hendrix covers as well.


I’d say pretty much anything from Tierney’s covers of Joni Mitchell, but especially “Little Green” and “April in Paris - Free Man in Paris”

Also, her album “The Sting Variations.”

Minimalist cutdown version of AC/DCs Rock n’ Roll singer.

The Gibson Brothers, covering REM’s Everybody Hurts.

Fantastic live cover of one of my favorite Neil Young songs by one of my favorite bands:

Beware of Darkness Leon Russel cover of George Harrison song

Also most of Patti Smith’s album Twelve (including are you experienced, soul kitchen, smells like a teen spirit, pastime paradise)
