I haven't heard that one before. Solid and interesting take on the original. I like it.

Always like Dwight's Yoakums Suspicious Minds and just saw on YouTube Pink covered Janice Joplin's Me and Bobby McGee that was very well done.


Yeah, I used to have a couple of guns.

I like Dave Matthews' cover of All Along the Watchtower, and anything Post Modern Jukebox does.

Janis' was a cover, too. Me and Bobby McGee was written by Kris Kristofferson and Fred Foster. It was originally performed by Roger Miller. Smile
 
Pink's cover is great as well.

IMO Kris's version is the best.

The Boxer is one my favorite ever songs, and this cover is outstanding. Though it was recorded for a Jerry Douglas album (Mumford & Sons, and Paul Simon, are guest artists), Jerry gently weaves his instrument around the background for most of the song (except a short break in the middle), yielding the center stage to the guest artists.
