Three come to mind.
Either Lightfoot's or Janis's cover of Kristofferson's Me And Bobby Magee.
Garth Brook's cover of Billy Joel's Shamless
And Barbara Streisand's cover of Joel's New York State Of Mind.

Best
Les

blinded by the light comes to mind.
jet airliner is a cover.
till there was you.
twist and shout.
sting's little wing is pretty good.
donald fagan's ruby baby on the nightfly album is better than the original.
there's lots.
leonid and friends play chicago tunes better than chicago could ever play them.

You know its a good song if Prine covers it, usually others covering his songs

Here's one that has that "looks bad but tastes good" vibe. Perfect take on a Prince song...

I think this cover and the video opened a lot of eyes. Lots of tears shed, too. (I lose it every time June Carter-Cash makes her appearance.)

Okay, just one more. Great 60's song by Love but made better by Calexico IMHO. Great band to see live.

Buck Owens would have approved.

You beat me to it! In that video Johnny rides in the cab of 4501. I spent a lot of time as a kid in the 70's riding behind that steam engine. This is one of the most perfect songs/videos ever.

craigster59 09-11-2024 04:23 PM

How about one by the original artists that is better known by Pat Benatar. I saw these guys open for the BoDeans years ago. I thought their version was better but Pat sold a lot more albums with this.
