Rockin version of an Aussie classic.

I don't know if it is better than the original but a nice take...


(sorry if it has been mentioned 46 pages is a few too many to go through)

Shawn Mullins version of House Of The Rising Sun

 

[muttley45]

House of the Rising Sun again, circa 1973, by Geordie featuring Brian Johnson ( AC/DC ) on vocals, big voice even way back then

Saw these guys live a few weeks ago. They gave this one a run.

A great take on an Aussie classic which doesn't stray far from the original:

The Gifthorse take on Spy vs. Spy's Don't Tear It Down.

Frank Sinatra wasn't the original performer but he was the best known. However this is by far the best version:

Another fine M Ward cover. This time a nice country-toned version of Pete Townsend's "Let My Love Open The Door".

 

[The Other Dean]

And in a similar vein, really dig this Matt Pond take on Lindsay Buckingham's "Holiday Road" (of National Lampoon's fame).

 

[The Other Dean]

Original version by Love Positions, a short-lived collaboration between St Clare and Nic Dalton.

(Ftr, prefer the Evan Dildo version.)

Yep

More Lemonheads cover-age.

Really love the first one. Excellent '90's meat-and-potatoes indie-rock' update on a quality Mike Nesmith-penned tune.



Doin' Suzanne Vega's "Luka"...('cheeze video' alert)....



Doin' Smudge's "Divan"....

I reckon this one kills the original.

Seth McFarlane, can sing

 

[Lums23]

Paul Dempsey's acoustic cover of this is pretty great too

Was listening to a great Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds cover of the country classic Wanted Man this morning - not sure if it's available on youtube - definitely worth getting hold of if you can find it - from the 1985 Nick Cave and Bad Seeds album The Firstborn is Dead.
