Whole album is pretty interesting, I found a few copies on discogs for not too much more than you would expect a CD+Vinyl would be.

I am always on the lookout for covers that are:
- Significantly different stylistically
- Are less well known than the original
āBe quiet and driveā covered by Radiohead (Deftones)
āSummer Breezeā covered by Jackie Mittoo (Dash Croftās and Seals)

Hurrah for Jackie Mittoo - hereās one of the best covers ever (arguably, and arguably better than the original)!

A couple of covers of Radiohead songs:
The Stargazer Lillies has released some pretty shoegaze songs over the years (see āWe Are The Dreamers,ā āUndone,ā and āHow We Lost,ā and āGolden Keyā), and hereās a fun, different take on that old, overplayed Radiohead song:
Marissa Nadler, whose album Strangers was one of my favorites from the last decade, has a nice cover of āNo Surprisesā

I like it when a cover really adds something to the original. EWF does;

Superb cover, I actually prefer it to the Bruce Version;

Bowie wrote it, then gave the song to Dana Gillespie who recorded it first, though released later, and performed it live, also recorded before Hunky Dory was released. So sort of a cover of his own song.

Itās been a while since this topic has spoken. Today, I was in the mood for Santana, and was playing his 2021 album Blessings and Miricales. Although I was playing it in the background as I worked, I just had to stop and turn it up when this came on. Now Iāve heard it in my office on my nice little speakers, I need to go home after work and listen on phones. Cāmon guys, tell me if itās as good as I think it is.

Iāve been into the Lexington Lab Bandās covers. They donāt dress like the groups the cover, or try to look like them, all they try to do is get the notes right. The do a pretty darn good job on Boston, Van Halen, Pink Floyd, Def Leppard, Zeppelin and a 219 other covers. But its not a cover band in my opinion, its a reproduction band that gets it right,

My name is David, and I am a headphone junkie.
Yes, itās as good as I thought. So is Break, and Angel Choir on this same album. Donāt get me wrong, I love speakers too. But I confess that I have not been listening to headphones much for the past 2 months, since I developed a hernia and then had surgery. Just too preoccupied. So tonight I fired up ROON/Qobuz on the Macbook Pro, fired up the Bifrost2 and the Stax amp. Yes, and the Lyr 3 just for good measure, but I knew I wasnāt going to be listening much to the 6xx except for comparison, and the HE-560 is in itās box in the other room.
I donned the Nectar Hive estats and was just blown away by Santanaās music. And Garthās daughter, Ally Brook, she can sing in my ear any day. And Iāve always been a Chick Corea fan - saw him twice. The Angel Choir cut - well, I donāt really care for the first part, but when the jazz fusion starts is just great. RIP, Chick Corea.

If weāre talking about Chris Cornell covers, I really like his rendition of Billie Jean.

I was listening to a playlist on Qobuz and this came up. Then I realized OMG, it IS ECHOES. I was transported back in time. This is wonderful. And when I went to Songwhip to make a link, I see there is also a live version.
