My number one?
Johnny Cash’s version of NIN’s Hurt. The video is so haunting as well. The way that one piano note builds. |
Harry Styles doing Girl Crush. |
Which was a cover of Leadbelly. Someone needs to tell that man a 12 string should never sound like that! |
|
That South African did a bangup version of Bruce.. |
Noah Reid Schitts Creek-Simply the best |
Maybe not my favorite but I was surprised to recently learn the song ‘Mickey’ in the 80’s was basically a cover of a similar song ‘Kitty’ by a British band Racey two years before
|
Is basically an octave higher with lyrics version of Clements Lonesome Fiddle Blues |
FYI Toni Basil turned 80 this year!!! |
And interestingly Manfred Mann wrote the original Fox on the Run which went on to become a popular bluegrass standard! |
John Fogerty just melted into a puddle. |
|
Oh, this is a good one. I also love If We Were Vampires by Noah Kahan and Wesley Schultz. |
Been obsessed with this Chris Cornell one lately!

The Diana Ross cover of Ain’t No Mountain High Enough is superior to the original, which is itself pretty great.
