June tabors beautiful versions of joy divisions live will tear us apart and kd langs 'thats my veil' And johnny cash sending nine inch nails to the cleaners when covering hurt. A lovely story behind thats cover version: trent reznor the man behind nine inch nails wrote hurt and its a deeply personal song, and one that he used to end his concerts. A song about the wretchedness of being a fucked up person, its not the sort of song youd expect an aging country singer to be able to do justice to, and reznor wasnt excited at the prospect of his magnus opus being sung by someone else. Cash fucking nailed it though. The video is incredible. A decripit and flawed old man, singing his last mea culpa looking back on how he messed up the most important relationships to him. Reznor watched the video with friends and band mates and told them 'I feel like I lost a girlfriend, because that song isnt mine anymore' Cash's daughter when she saw the video told the rest of her family to think caefully about whether they wanted to watch it as it carried such emotional weight. He died before the song was released I dont know what caused a dying old country singer to put his heart out there for all to see and cover an industrial rock classic as his last artistic statement. But im glad he did. The most surprising of covers and one of the greatest.

In fact it's rather killed my Saturday morning vibe, I may have to take inspiration from cambridgealex and watch Geri Halliwell's cover of ' it's raining men' by way of balance :) Title: Re: Surprising cover versions Post by: TightEnd on January 31, 2015, 10:13:56 AM like these

I never listen to the radio, but I had it on a couple days ago, and that Placebo cover happened to be playing.

Love that version of Landslide. Here's one of my favourite covers. Gimme Shelter, by the Rolling Stones, was covered by various artists for a charity record for Shelter, back in 1993. My favourite of those versions by a country-mile was the collaboration between New Model Army and Tom Jones: YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZ_yJXhniDM http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gimme_Shelter#.22Putting_Our_House_in_Order.22_project Title: Re: Surprising cover versions Post by: Longines on January 31, 2015, 01:18:37 PM YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqJDfRD9Vp4

YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBviQXfuu3c It's a hidden track on their 1996 'Goose Fair' album. After the last song finishes, you have to Fast Forward nearly 30 mins to find it. I only found it coz it woke me up after I'd fallen asleep on the flight back from the Falklands listening to the album and the start of the song roused me from my kip.
