Music and Covers Vs the orginal

[Elsa TLC]

Im not a great music freak but I do like a song done well.

Some covers come out better than the original. Some don't.

Or

There's no doubt for me.. ones fantastic, the other isn't.

Then comes Beatrice

To kill off the parts Bananarama missed.

The Stones made Little Red Rooster famous in the UK but like most bands at that time they all owe a debt to folk like Howlin' Wolf who made the original.

The Jam did a great cover of Heatwave by Martha Reeves and the Vandellas as the closing track on Setting Sons. I thought it was the outstanding track on the album, only later discovering it wasn’t a Weller original:

I'm not really a music guru and haven't been for years but for some reasson hearing this remix made an impression and is something I prefer to the original

Miley takes a leap at a country classic and hits the spot.

yeah a good voice, although she can't quite hit that note though.

Im not music buff but I think that's as good as Dolly. All be it in a different way.
Loved the simplicity of the band.


Miles is a spit for my Neice.

I don't think the Lady Parton's original can be beat but i enjoy Miley's sessions that seem far removed from her popstar image. Lady Gaga has a similar shift when she sings the Blues or a jazz number.

Love Dolly. Never thought much about Mileys music yet this is a great cover.

Is this the original or a copy?

From memory, 9" Nails did the original version.

JC, fair play to him, knew he didn't have long left and wanted to record tracks for his estate.

As a Bowie fan, I love the Nirvana, Bowie and Lulu versions of the Man Who Sold the World. He played the sax and did backing vocals on the Lulu version.

Placebo do a decent job of this TFF classic.

You should put them all up for us to listen

Always on mind has been covered by lots of people, i.e. Willie Nelson, Elvis, Pet Shop Boys. But the original by Brenda Lee is still the best imho.
