Under the covers

[J E B Stuart]

The Black Crowes were formed in Atlanta, Georgia. This is their righteous 1990 cover of an Otis Redding dandy:

Amen.

Mitch Ryder is one of my favorite singers. In 1983, John Mellencamp produced an album for Mitch that included this cover of a 1980 tune by Prince. The video is a hoot. The first gal shakin' her moneymakers is the superb Kitten Natavidad, may she rest in peace:

This is Prince's original;

Amen.

Apocalyptica is a Finnish cello band formed in 1993. This cover of a well-known Metallica song is really special:

Amen.

[J E B Stuart]

Shen Li's Body Count post in L.I.V.E. made me think of this cover they did some time ago of an old Billy Roberts classic. It's been covered beaucoup times and this one is pretty respectable:

Amen.

[J E B Stuart]

This was a big cover of Tom Cochrane's great song:

Amen.

[Shen Li]

The Black Crowes were formed in Atlanta, Georgia. This is their righteous 1990 cover of an Otis Redding dandy:

Amen.

I didn't know that was a cover.

Devo was always a hoot to watch. This is one of their early covers of the classic Stones hit from the 60s:

Amen.

[Herman]

Were they a real band or just for satire?

[Herman]

One of the best covers ever.

I thought they were like Spinal Tap.

I never watched that. Is it good?  Would you recommend it?

Amen.

Amen.

It sucked.
