Sometimes you get the most unexpected cover versions that work.


Just found this one.

Ride on - AC/DC cover by Norah Jones and band.

Cat Power does a great (and completely unrecognisable) version of (I can't get no) Satisfaction.  Well worth a listen.

Anything Ronan Keating covers is basically gold.

Hell of a lot of emotion in the Johnny Cash version, he really made it his own.

Was that an original?


The Johnny Cash version of 'Hurt' is very good and I think I read somewhere that the 9 inch nails no longer play it as a tribute to Johnny.
