Sorry. I’ve come rather late to this discussion, but I just need to point out that the original is a towering work of pop genius, while this is little different to what Darius did on Pop Idol many years ago.
It became a bit of a millstone around his neck for a while, as a 40 year career was reduced to ‘ex Fairporter cover Britney’ in profiles and interviwpews. It makes sense in the thousand years of popular music show for which it was arranged, but I agree that although RT is the greatest rock musician of all time in my book I would take the Britney version over his any day of the week.
Castrated Grateful Dead.
Dentist’ office music, (note: not muzak) soothing, with the edges removed.
Nothing to see here. Pure relaxation for the 21st century man.
Chagrin, much? Dead’s original wasn’t exactly edgy though, was it? Their version of shit-kickin’ country (which wasn’t their strong point anyway). I don’t exactly like their twangy banjo lurch rhythm and feel it takes Lyle, say, to show up the real strength of this excellent song. Then again, you could be a Deadhead!
Potatoes, Potaatoes.
After the New Testament comes the Dead. But that’s just me! No offense or disrespect to our Mormen friends.
Rise, climb, fall to win, terrapin.
Attention all “Terrapin Station” fans out there in Afterword-land.
The National (plus friends) do a very satisfying version of the entire Terrapin Station Suite on the recent 5CD “Day of the Dead” various artists set.
Has anyone reviewed the “Day of the Dead” undertaking on the Afterword? If so, I must have mssed it.
Suffice it to say, from this Deadhead’s point of view, I feel that about two-thirds of the set is really, really good. The artists’ love for the Dead’s music comes through, but very few of the tracks are slavish note-for-note copies. There’s a wide range of styles, with African Artists like Orchestra Baobab and Tal National fitting right in nicely. A huge thumbs up to Aaron and Bryce Dessner, for putting the whole project together. It must’ve been quite an undertaking.
I’m going to post two, because I fear that the first one is going to make me look far from cool. But it is my favourite song by my favourite songstress and is the Wad family song that regularly has us all dancing in the kitchen.
But the one I usually think of when I think of great cover versions is this cover of a Smiths song by The Dream Academy that brought Morrissey to tears (in a good way!) when he first heard it.
There are lots of songs that benefit from a reggae cover – this is one that comes immediately to mind, as it replaces the bombastic arrangement and general air of self-aggrandizement of the original with something more honest and gritty. (But not gritty enough to forego the female backup singers and synth strings.)
A reggae version can be very effective at de-sugaring a song. Lkike Toots’s version of Take me home country roads. And you can dance to it too.
Maxipriest shows that it isn’t always the Cat that has the cream…
Wild world
John Martyne goes the other way. No disrespect to The Slickers’ orginal version of this song, but Martyn’s Johny (from Grace and Danger) is far more threatening: a real mean mutha.
The King & Queen of cover versions. One of their covers even stayed at number one for 4 weeks. Not that I am biased but I get a namecheck on their Green & Blue CD sleeve 😉
Another better-than-the-original from an unexpected source: Waylon Jennings. Somewhat closer to the original in spirit, but one of those instances of addition by subtraction….
Good call on both. The Staple Singers also did a great version of For What It’s Worth. They did a great cover of Talking Heads’ Slippery People which for some reason is blocked by Youtube in the UK so here is the audio from vimeo.com.
If nothing else, this thread has helped me to better understand those comedian bashing threads where, as soon as someone suggests Comic X is funny, there’s a tsunami of vitriol against said chucklemerchant. I read these comments and wonder how people can hate comedians so much just because they’re not tickled by that particular strand of humour.
With these covers, I find, not only are most of them rubbish, but they’re rubbish in a way that actually offends me. And the more they seem to be “done for a giggle”, the more I want to punch the artist in question. Takes all sorts, I suppose…
Well, if you want a cover version that is done for a laugh, Leningrad Cowboys from Finland are the bandfor you. Lynyrd Skynyrd done with xylophone, a gigantic balalaika and a choir of burly Russian blokes in uniform on backing vocals.
I would quite understand anyone saying they don’t like this. My son loathes it, so I often play it 3 times in a row, just to annoy him. I have a peculiar loathing for Queen that I don’t really understand but I fecking love this, particularly the ending. Melt Banana – We Will Rock You
I couldn’t find the album clip but Maria McKee does a superior, IMHO, version of Richard and Linda Thompson’s Has He Got A Friend For Me.
Pet Shop Boys can turn in a good cover (Go West) and June Tabor and the Oyster Band have form too (Bonny Bunch Of Roses or Valentine’s Day is Over) but for me, Kirsty MacColl’s version of A New England wins hands down. Her cover of Days isn’t too shabby either.
On the one occasion that I’ve seen Laura Cantrell live, she asked the audience if anyone knew whom had written the beautiful Two Seconds. I hadn’t a clue but some Swede in the audience knew it was the Volebeats, a little-known band from Detroit. Impressive.
She took a good song and made it a great song. Her voice is so crystal clear and personal and the mandolin riff is a doozie. Exquisite.
At this point I was going to post the infamous “Ken Lee” clip, but you know what? I watched it to the end for the first time and, as usual with talent shows, there’s a point where it becomes nasty and cruel.
Schmilsson would never have trett somebody like that.
Chuck Berry’s original was great, Elvis’s version was great, Rockpile’s version was great, but this is the best version of ‘Promised Land’ hands down: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHRg2nUtwQ4
Magazine did a few different versions of “Thank You (Falletinme Be Mice Elf Again)” at various times.
All pretty good, but I prefer this one to the others.
Their versions of “Goldfinger” and Captain Beefheart’s “I Love You Big Dummy” are pretty good too.
There was a cover of “Wild World” up there (points) somewhere – a one-off studio band in the antipodes had a hit with a cover of it that I’ve always liked more than Cat’s.
Moose the Mooche says

BigJimBob says
My answer to this hardy perennial is always the same:

Badfinger’s original was charming enough, but it sounded like an unfinished demo.

….and then Mariah Carey stomped all over it in 1993.

Yes, Mariah turned it into a breathy, wobbly-voiced anthem for the X-Factor generation. She would never sing one note where six would do.

Finally, and in a very different vein, this was produced by Richard Thompson and is a bit jauntier than the original –

Produced by Joe Boyd, but Mr Thompson plays on it.
Steve Walsh says
I think Simon Nicol and Trevor Lucas, as well as RT, may play on both versions.
