Me too....and that Frank one was eerily good.

That was amazingly good. The orchestration seemed quite complex as well.

Came across this, and it's interesting, I guess? One thing I love is how musicians can dissect a song, and make it into something completely different. I love that kind of cover, and I'd really like to see more of that. I don't really love this cover itself, but I love the idea behind it. As for the song itself, it ends up sounding like a lot of indie pop-rock, with many of the hooks removed.

Not bad not bad. Close to Karen

I've always liked Sarah Jarosz, right from the beginning with her debut album. Here she teams up with Chris Thile and she just nails this song, a cover of Massive Attack's 'Teardrop'. But wow, I sometimes wonder if Chris Thile ends up pulling his back muscles.

Jaymann · Post by **Jaymann** » Mon Mar 11, 2024 6:31 pm

I loved that song as the theme for House, and was bummed when they changed it.

I saw her perform in the late aughts, opening up for The Greencards. Iirc, I got her first two albums. But I definitely enjoy her work.

That must have been an awesome concert. I'm jealous. I wish I'd be able to see her in concert, but most of these bands, including her and Nickel Creek end up only touring the U.S.

Cross the border for the RockyGrass Festival.

Rumpy · Post by **Rumpy** » Tue Mar 12, 2024 1:15 pm

Where's that, Michigan? Long trip for just a concert. Would take a minimum of 8 hours drive.

Isgrimnur · Post by **Isgrimnur** » Tue Mar 12, 2024 2:10 pm

Colorado.

Rumpy · Post by **Rumpy** » Tue Mar 12, 2024 2:40 pm

Ahh yeah, that's too much of a trip for a concert.

Looks like you missed a window for tickets in Toronto... I'd love to go to the Horseshoe sometime. So many bands I like pass through there.

Interesting. One of the few Canadian dates from any these musicians. And yeah, so many greats have played the Horseshoe Tavern. Still wish they'd do more Canadian dates though.

It's a 3-day festival , which I can personally recommend.

Rumpy · Post by **Rumpy** » Tue Mar 12, 2024 5:12 pm

Yeah, might be a good festival, but still too far for me, which isn't even a consideration at this point. I have a good festival close to home that lasts 4 days.

Daehawk · Post by **Daehawk** » Fri Mar 15, 2024 12:59 am

Not really a cover or a mashup but whatever.

Skinypupy · Post by **Skinypupy** » Mon Mar 25, 2024 9:40 am

This one popped up on a random playlist yesterday. I absolutely adore this version.

Unagi · Post by **Unagi** » Mon Mar 25, 2024 3:03 pm

Yeah, that's pretty sweet.

Love that song so much. Every time I hear it, I fall back in love.

I had a really cool City of Heroes toon named: "Exit the Warrior", and his detailed description were plucked lines from the lyrics. (making me super cool

)

Deadsy also do a great cover of Gary Numan’s song Replicas.

I discovered those two girls earlier this summer and they've been a joy to listen to. I don't think English is even their original language as they're not originally from the England, but they've managed to really evoke the Beatles sound, and I think there are even several videos where they're playing at a famous pub where the Beatles played at.

Another I've discovered recently along similar lines is the Filipino band REO Brothers, who have an uncanny ability to sound exactly like anybody they cover, down to the individual performers.

Like, here is their cover of Now and Then:

I feel this video captures more of the essence than the official video did, as if all 4 were actually in the room together.

This performance is all kinds of awesome.

And earlier they'd recorded Scenes from an Italian Restaurant (with a cameo performance by Weird Al):

When one solo isn't enough. I love it when she has to shake out her hands.

Sometimes XRT surprises me with something I've not heard before.

A few weeks ago on Saturday Morning Flashback, they played Annie Lennox singing The Clash's Train in Vain.

It was awesome. I never heard it before, she recorded it nearly 30 years ago.

A few weeks ago, they had a Gordon Lightfoot Tribute at Massey Hall. The entire concert is now available online, for those interested. Posting it here because, well it's full of covers obviously.

Mavis Staples doing Talking Heads Slippery People.

She turned 85 last week, and just released an excellent single, Worthy. Another octogenarian still belting it out. She also opened for Norah Jones at Ravinia last Sunday...Terri Hemmert did a nice interview with Mavis that was broadcast in the morning then after the concert...she and Mavis go way back and it was fun listening to two oldies having mutual respect for each other (Hemmert is 75).

Dennis Brown's cover of Horace Andy's "Man Next Door" (probably most famous in the last 25 years for Massive Attack's rendition, reprising Horace on vocals) - it's not that different, but Dennis' vocals are always excellent :
