    Since my reply to Heart Shaped Box by Nirvana was a Throwing Muses song why not Kristin from the Muses covering a Nirvana song?

    Did you realize a band named Rainbow Arabia re-recorded The Cure's six different ways and Willie Nelson covered Kermit the Frog's Rainbow connection?

    Kula Shaker - Hush

    Essgee, who did the original version of this song?

    Joe South wrote Hush and probably recorded it first.Deep Purple covered it on their debut

    gracias. I didn't really like my chemical romance's version of Desolation Row, but if ya want to hear a decent Bob Dylan cover it's by the Byrds.

    Motorpsycho also did a good cover of Jefferson Airplane’s The House at Pooneil Corners. I couldn’t find the Motorpsycho cover on youtube but here’s a live Airplane version:

    My favorite version of California Dreamin’ is Eddie Hazel’s:

    2Pac’s California Love sounds like it.


    Essgee--thanks for the Flying Saucer Attack clip. That was amazing; beautiful, unrecognizable.

    They covered She Moves Through The Fair too but it`s not on Youtube.I love that Sally Free And Easy cover.The version that Trees did was great too

    I'd never heard of either band; that Trees version is great.

    Here's a cool cover song in which Jackie King tears it up on Bread's "If" and Nat King Cole's "There Will Never Be Another You".

    Jackie King played guitar in Shades of Joy with Howard Wales and Martin Fierro and played on the soundtrack for El Topo. I think King still tours with Willie Nelson and band. He's a pretty amazing guitar player and Willie Nelson's band is awesome; the audience reaction at the end is great:

    That's pretty cool but a little fast and boring. I've been listening to clapton's bluesy tracks and lines from a movie soundtrack and here's a man..looks like he's trying all.

    Bad religion - Pessimistic Lines cover
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SPjXJWpYkv8

    talk about applause, there's a double beer in Son Volt's Six String Belief Dvd. You can buy it here.

I took careful on not to start my fire (I'm roasting Ivies, mustard greens and chinaberries in a pail hanging off a Juniper tree that died when i transplanted it, it's tipped over like a good ole fashioned pub memory) not to burn her article..

    I don't generally enjoy fast for fast's sake playing but Jackie King is a soulful shredder. I can't really listen to Eric Clapton aside from Wheels of Fire and Blind Faith but I liked that guy's playing alright in the video you linked.

    That Pessimistic Lines cover rules.

    Here's another girl rocking cool covers in her bedroom:

    The Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy cover DK's California Uber Alles:



    Re. Carla Bozulich and covers, a while back Evangelista was offering to play private gigs for a minimal fee and travel expenses, and part of the gig involved the person hosting giving the band an mp3 of any song they wanted them to cover and Evangelista'd learn it and play it at the gig. Carla rules.

    I don't know how to link it but there's a great video up at Amoeba's in-store concert archive of Evangelista doing Pissing, Truth is Dark Like Outer Space (!!), Hello Voyager, Smooth Jazz, and a bunch of other great songs off Hello, Voyager. The video quality's way better than the Two Foot Yard clip, the playing is incredible, and the videographer (R. Crumb?) has a serious shoe appreciation going on with Carla.

    A few years ago Monks of Doom did a whole album of covers of great musicians/bands--Steve Hillage, Rahsaan Roland Kirk, Richard Thompson, Quicksilver, Roy Harper, Bert Jansch, Soft Machine, etc.
    I saw them play I think with Young Fresh Fellows and Sage around 1991 or so and I remember they did a blazing "Oh Well".

    Here they are doing Steve Hillage's "Light in the Sky":

    Do you remember when Cat Power an Wayne Coyne War Pigs? I missed ACL Saturday but that'd be neat to see again, just like a whole dvd of Dino playing Farm in that room. So, no Sonic Youth and Black Keys either. The Black Keys play some super bluesy stuff that rocks, and Sonic Youth is so old, though I'd like to hear trilogy again.

    hybridge, cool song.

    Glad you like Lhasa's Leonard Cohen cover; it is great.

    Also great were Thin White Rope. I saw them once and they were incredible. Here they are covering Lee Hazelwood's Some Velvet Morning:

    Spokennerd's cover of The Wagon (nice!) reminded me of the Casio Lady's many great covers. She was a street musician who wore a winged mercury helmet and played a casio keyboard on Telegraph Avenue and downtown SF in the 1980s and 90s. Apparently her official name is Space Lady; me and my friends always knew her as The Casio Lady. I liked her version of Summertime Blues best, but her cover of Peter Schilling's Major Tom is just great:
