And I’m not saying that the original is bad. You have to have a good song to have a good cover in my opinion. But sometimes the cover artist just understands the mission and takes what the original song did and expands on that a hundred times over.
What’re some of your guys’s favorites?
Alabama 3’s (A3 in some places) cover of John Prine’s “Speed of the Sound of Loneliness”. This is the song before “Woke up this Morning” on the album “Exile on Cold Harbour Lane”, and the two together tell a story.
Probably my favourite album of all time.
