tromprof Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 I love a good cover. One of my favorite albums is by Ckaka Kahn which is nothing but covers. Her version of Prince's "Sign O the Times" is fabulous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Gloria Estefan has a good cd covering a bunch of songs. Not a big fan of hers personally, but I did buy it as it sounds very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schu Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 absolutely... Randy Hansen is fantastic. from his work on Apocalypse Now to this Jimi shows that I have been watching since the 1970's he is the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JL Sargent Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Joe, have you seen the acoustic version of Shinedown doing Simple Man in a guys living room? Love that version. On the covers, I really think Manfred Manns version of Spirits in the Night much better than the Boss's version. Yeah, fire suit donned.

Boxx Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Statesboro Blues Written and first recorded (1928) by Blind Willie McTell. Covered by many artists. However, the 1971 (live) recording by The Allman Brothers Band is considered to be one of the best guitar recordings of all time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skelt Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 My favorite cover would be anybody that tries to sing the Star Spangled Banner correctly as opposed to those who intentionally mess it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Audible Nectar Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 How about a band covering another band's ENTIRE ALBUM? This was the tradition established by Phish in 1994 - a concept dubbed "The Musical Costume", performed on Halloween night. Phish did six such costumes: 1994 - The Beatles (White Album) - The Beatles 1995 - Quadrophenia - The Who 1996 - Remain In Light - Talking Heads 1998 - Loaded - Velvet Underground 2009 - Exile On Main St. - Rolling Stones 2010 - Waiting For Columbus - Little Feat The "costume" was kept a secret until the night of the show. There were three sets of music - the costume sandwiched between two sets of Phish. The lead up to the show was all about the guessing game as to what album would be covered - one of my favorite aspects of attending was the speculation leading up to the show as to what album would be done. These were extensively rehearsed and some of the most amazing live concerts I have ever seen. I was fortunate to see five of the six such costumes, each one special in it's own way, and a way for the band to pay homage to influences and the greats who came before them. Of the literally hundreds of concerts I have seen over my lifetime, these were a "drop everything and find a way to see it" type of event. Phish has done two Halloween shows the last two years but not with the costume (I believe, primarily because of the rehearsal work involved - they don't tour and play together as much as they used to), and I miss the tradition dearly. Out of all of the possible special occasion shows rock bands do - New Year's Eve, festivals, hometown shows - this was the best special occasion concept ever invented by a rock band. Greeeeaaat stuff...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
