Upvoted, not for the songs (neither the Band or Marvin Gaye are really my thing) but because I didn’t see it as trolling, just a contribution to the thread. A lot of people like The Band.

I don’t like a lot of the stuff on the music threads but never took it as trolling…

So endeth the sermon :innocent:

btw … I realise Lord D can be a controversial carachter

The best cover of one of hers is Stephen Still’s arrangement of Woodstock, so much better than Matthews soppy effort.

This live version is quite the most beautiful performance…the consummate performer, singing a song written as a 21 year old adding 30 years experience. Reduces me to a blubbering wreck every time…

I have posted this before but the local band played this in the boozer the other night and it blew me away, so no apologies for posting it again…

Its OK

Here’s one. Cover of a Jimmie Rodgers song, and a very quirky one at that, with a 15-year-old boy doing the singing.

And here’s another. Very famous song, which goes back a long way. The earliest version I know is by Mississippi John Hurt, entitled Frankie and Albert and recorded in 1928. Can this be considered a cover? What the hell, it’s a great version.

One of the covers from an album of music to accompany the TV series “The Man In The High Tower”

Done fell down the St Vincent rabbit hole again. Remembered she used to do this quite a bit. It’s pretty good, fuck she’s amazing. I really love her.
