Hi peeps. I'm constantly listening to music. I love faffing about on youtube. It's grear for finding live, acoustic and covered versions of songs. At the minute, i have three covered songs that i'm loving right now.

They are....

Jack Savoretti - So Long Marianne (L.Cohen)

Foy Vance- Purple Rain (Prince)

Mandoline Orange - Boots of Spanish Leather (B.Dylan)

Justin Diaz - Take Me Home, Countey Roads (J.Denver)

The White Buffalo - I'm On Fire (B.Springsteen)

Playing For Change - Everyday People (S.Stewart)

Looking forward to all your favourite covers. Hope you enjoy at least one of the above.

Just reminded me. A couple of years back, I went to see Lisa Hannigan gig in Belfast's Empire Music Hall. She cracked out a brilliant version of Personal Jesus. Cracking tune.

There and to the left a bit

I love a well done cover version, that takes the original and changes it almost to the point where you go "I know this but can't place it" - mostky can't stand the ones that are just a straight cover of the original though.

A few of my favourite covers:

It Must Be Love/One Step Beyond/Swan Lake - Madness

Hounds Of Love - The Futureheads

Heatwave - The Jam

Try A Little Tenderness - The Commitments

Police & Thieves - The Clash

Roll With It - The Bluebeaters

Doctor Who/Perhaps Perhaps Perhaps - The Simmertones

Wonderwall - Mike Flowers Pops

Feeling Good - Muse

Jackie Wilson Said - Dexys Midnight Runners

Can't Get Used To Losing You/Tears Of A Clown - The Beat

Guns Of Navarone - The Skatalites

The Sun & The Rain - Indeed

If you’re gonna cover Floyd you gotta do it different and I think they pulled off pretty good.
