same song, different artists

Old Tony and all other Waits fans....Holly Cole's "Temptation" is all Waits covers...and it's very good. Caveat: the songs aren't done very Waits-like. It's very Holly Cole...jazzy and poppy, but just a little demonic.

 

The Beer That Made Milwaukee Famous -- Jerry Lee Lewis, Rod Stewart.

 

The Doors' version of Willie Dixon's "Back Door Man"

 

I heard a Jamaican cover of Sting's "Englishman in New York," called, of course, "Jamaican in New York."

 

Bonnie Raitt has a good version too.

Bonnie Raitt also has an excellent version of John Prine's "Angel from Montgomery." Saw them do it as a duet in a concert several years ago.

Arol Guthrie covered Steve Goodman's "City of New Orleans" decently.

Rose of Cimarron: Poco, and EmmyLou Harris.

New Cut Road: Guy Clark, ELH.

Mary Chapin Carpenter also does a nice cover of Tom Waits' Downtown Train.

The Flying BUrrito Brothers did a nice copy of "Wild Horses."

Somewhere there has to be a copy of Springsteen doing his "The Fever", which was also covered by Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes on the "Sacrifice" album..

 

The Indigo Girls doing Thunder Road. Fantastic.

 

You're right, I forgot about Stewart's cover of Downtown Train. He also covered Waits' "New Coat of Paint" if I remember correctly.

 

Dixie Chicks and Stevie Nicks - can't remember the song title

 

Landslide?

 

Yep. Thanks
