Not sure if this really qualifies as a cover, but it's a brilliant interpretation

I splashed out on Lucinda Williams' live stream series plus downloads ("Lu's Jukebox"), justifying it to myself by saying that I have not spent any money on festivals this year.  

It turns out to be a fantastic series of themed cover shows.  So far she has covered Tom Petty,  Southern soul/Muscle Shoals hits and Bob Dylan.  I wrote a review of the Dylan episode.

That is well up there for me. My fiancé loves the Boss, but even she concedes this is the best version.

This is probably my number one:

I’ve always liked his take on ‘I’m a Believer’ too

Not sure if it counts as a cover but reminded me of this gem

Listening to Biko reminded me of Somewhere in Africa by Manfred Mann. Not a cover song but still great.

RobertFripp and Toyah have just done anarchy in the UK dressed as Santa and an elf.  Just saying😲

If you ever start a band, you want whoever promotes The Hu - excellent musicians but their marketing has been amazing.

It's such a great song felt by everyone at some point I'd love 100 covers of it. The YES wall with it painted on takes it from a B+ bar to an A for me*
