GREAT COVERS OF YOUR FAVORITE SONGS

Whitney Houston's "I'll Always Love You". Although written and performed by Dolly Patron Ms. Houston's rendition is breath taking.

This might be a little-known song by two artists that seem to be getting forgotten. But, I like it. Museum was written by Donovan, but the Herman's Hermits did a better version of it. I like both artists. I think they're underrated.

Sounds of Silence. Like listening to two different songs. Simon and Garfunkel and Disturbed.

Many covers of Bob Dylan's songs deserve mention as being superior to Dylan's originals like the Byrds "Mr Tamborine Man". But of special note is Jimi Hendrix's cover of "All Along The Watchtower". Hendrix reach his pinnacle with his rendition. I got goosebumps the 1st time I heard it and his great guitar work and I still do. One of rock's best songs!

River Deep Mountain High - Deep Purple

I love this cover of the Ike and Tina Turner classic by Deep Purple. They were experimenting with classical sounds and mixing it with psychedelic-progressive-metal-leaning-rock. Oh, and it has one heck of a guitar riff from Ritchie Blackmore! The original was a whopping 10 minutes on the album, The Book of Taliesyn, which was their second album release in 1969. Also on this album are covers of The Beatles' We Can Work It Out and Neil Diamond's Kentucky Woman.

The Stones' version of Buddy Holly's "Not Fade Away."

The Animals' version of The Bee Gees' "To Love Somebody."

Hole's version of Fleetwood Mac's "Gold Dust Woman."

The Pogues' version of Eric Bogle's "The Band Played Waltzing Matilda."

Eva Cassidy performed many remakes of great songs over her short career.  She had perfect pitch and the ability to make any song her own.  One of my favorite remakes by her is "Fields Of Gold," but she did many many others that were great, including:

Electric Light Orchestra's version of Roll Over Beethoven is the best!

Turn the Page - Bob Seger cover by Metallica

When interviewed at his Hall of Fame induction, Seger said that he loved their cover, and especially the drums.
