Yes, Another Music Thread: The Covers

[John Thomas8]

I've been fascinated with covers and enjoy hearing how different bands approach the same material. So outside of the Free for All I thought I'd make a thread for this fascination. Mebbe too much? Poke Foggy and he can just shove it in the other topic.

Love Bonnie Raitt. I went to a blues concert at the Merriwhether Post Pavilion one time - Litte Feat with Lowell George, Paul Butterfield Blues Band and Bonnie Raitt. Each did their sets then they all came back on stage together for a big ol’ jam. It was lit!!

Hollywood Vampires (Yes, that's Johnny Depp on guitar):

Yeah, Depp was in a band before he went Hollywood. Is that Alice Cooper singing lead?

I'm a big fan of Willie Nelson covering Paul Simon's Graceland. But then I'm a big fan of anything Willie Nelson covers. That voice!

(the duet with Simon is the only video I could find that wasn't just a slide show but I prefer the Nelson-only version)
