Under the covers

[J E B Stuart]

Another 60's band cover. Fever was originally recorded by Little Willie John. In 1958, the great Peggy Lee recorded it and it became her signature song.

Amen.

I almost put this in the lesser known musical gems thread, but this thread won out. Five by Five hailed from Magnolia, Arkansas and I have their album named Last Exit. Their cover of the Jimi Hendrix classic "Fire" actually climbed to #52 on the chart:

Amen.

I heard a cover of this yesterday. This song has been covered by many artists. But ,in my opinion none of them compare to the original by Gordon Lightfoot.

I posted the original of this Crow classic in the 1960s thread. This cover by Black Sabbath is on their first album:

Amen.

[Prof Emeritus at Fawk U]

Very kickass Social Distortion cover of Johnny Cash.


Mike Ness is one very underrated genius.

I never tire of this rock Classic by The Kingsmen. Did you know it is a cover?:

Here's the original:

And it's been covered by countless others over the years. For the record, my favorite is The Kingsmen, hands-down.

Amen.

I love this version.

It's not as good As Disturbed's cover of Sound of Silence, but it's better than the Genesis version in my opinion.

Ever heard of Joyous Wolf?  Me, neither; or to be precise, not until about 15 minutes ago. To make a short story even shorter, this video popped up while I was scrolling for sumpin' else on ewe toob. And let me tell ya - this is one seriously righteous cover of that old Mountain classic:

Amen.

How would I describe this cover of the Neil Young classic with one word? - Interesting. Peter Steele was the front man of Type O Negative and stood at an imposing 6' 8". Unfortunately, he passed away in 2010 from sepsis arising from diverticulitis.  As a result, the surviving band members decided to dissolve it.

Amen.

I can get into Type O Negative.
