Cover songs that are better than the original

[ROOINYOU]

another great cover...love live acoustic gigs

 

[DEVO]

I'm a little torn with this one because I really love the original, but the cover is a brilliant tribute to a father who sadly passed.

The Call - Let The Day Begin

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club

The original was written by Michael Been for The Call's 1989 Let The Day Begin. In August 2010 he passed away of a heart attack while backstage at his son's band's concert. Robert Levon Been and his band the Black Rebel Motorcycle Club released their cover as a tribute.

Original:
Current;

Probably the only time a current country musician trumps an oldie.

Coe's son, Tyler Mahan Coe has made a brilliant podcast series call Cocaine and Rhinestones about country music history. Worth a listen.

Chris Stapleton is sensational. ( He just appeared in Game of Thrones as a white walker a couple of episodes ago.)

The best cover version of all time...

Great how the video even pays homage to the original...
