Just had to post this because it is such a ridiculous video. Also the young girls will be getting real crazy to this song this summer.

I'll stop short of saying these three melancholy songs are better than the originals but all are very good.

Nice presentation and really good vocals but it would take me a while to get used to the organ doing Willie's guitar. The guitar was almost joining Willie's vocals in his rendition. It was one of Nelsons finest deliveries in my opinion and the song just can't be executed with less than 100% effort. (Angel Flying Too Close )

GnR's cover of Live And Let Die is better than McCartney's as well.

The term cover is getting tossed around a lot and I understand what is trying to be conveyed but at the risk of sounding pious this link will more accurately describe the term. http://ask.metafilter.com/11636/Why-is-a-cover-song-called-a-cover-song

I've heard the story of its origins before. Pat Boone was the big example they were using in the article I read because he made a living 'covering' R & B songs for the white audiences in the 50s/60s. Obviously the term has evolved and is now much more general and just refers to an artist covering a previously recorded song from another artist.

We used to call those a "redo" or " New cut".

The new meaning has become so universal the term basically has a modern meaning and a historical meaning.

Actually Pat Boone didn't do much rock or rhythm and blues. He started with a few but his mainstays were the "April Love" and "Love Letters In The Sand" types. His father in law was a well established Country star and he paved the way for Boone. His name was Red Foley.

They recently put together a new Michael Jackson album (Xscape). It's of songs he did years ago but never released. It's actually pretty good.
Here are two of my favorites. You've probably heard snippets of "Love Never Felt so Good" from the current Jeeps ads that are running.

E_D, not calling you out, but I have a real issue with a song about the Shankill Butchers. Does not sit right.
