Anyone have any cover song suggestions?
I’ve been getting into listening to multiple version of classic songs like Poncho and Lefty, Look at Miss Ohio and Unknown Legend back to back by various artists. I enjoy hearing how other artists perform them. Anyhow, I’m looking for some examples of well covered songs I can dig into.
Thanks!
The best cover of any song I have ever heard. I hope the link works
Tool covering ” no quarter” by zeppelin
The Black Crowes – Hard To Handle.

Whitey Morgan and the 78’s “I’m on Fire”
Johnny Cash “Hurt”
Chris Stapleton “Tennessee Whiskey”
anything by Richard Cheese
Thanks for the help, this is great so far. Richard Cheese might have the most festive Holiday in Cambodia cover ever.
I was in the Philippines about a 1/2 dozen times in the late seventies and these little dive bars would have bands playing American rock and they were phenomenal! Stuff like ACDC, Zepplin etc… They could really jam, the singing not so much!
anything by Richard Cheese
YES!
Whitey Morgan and the 78’s “I’m on Fire”
Johnny Cash “Hurt”
Chris Stapleton “Tennessee Whiskey”
Whitey Morgan’s version of “I’m on fire” is probably my favorite.
I really liked how Pretty Lights re-did Pink Floyds “Time”. This is for a small percentage of people…
Rob Zombie covering Lionel Richie’s Brick House
I would have said Hurt, but Werm beat me to it.

Love J.J. Cale. He was a minimalist guitarist and wrote many great songs made popular as covers. Some more popular songs would be Cocaine and After midnight by Eric Clapton and Call me the breeze by Lynyrd Skynyrd and Louisiana Woman by Waylon Jennings amongst many others. Very talented, singer, songwriter and musician.

This just has me going. I search out covers A LOT. I fell down a rabbit hole on you tube one night and found these two gals. MonaLisa Twins. They do a ton of Beatles stuff really well if you like the Beatles.
