I've been mentioneing this one a lot lately, but this seems to be the official place to do it.
LUKA BLOOM!!! 'Throw Your Arms Around Me" (Hunter's &Collectors). A friend gave me a Luka compilation Cd, so I don't know what albums they are from, but he also covers "Dancing Queen"and "I Can't Help Falling In Love With You". Just beautiful, especially the first one, his voice cracks on the second chorus, gets me every time.
Willie Nelson and Sinead O'Connor do a version of Peter gabriels' "Don't Give Up" ( I sincerely believe that song and version saved my life one day....thanks)
I Bought Dolly Parton's album 'Little Sparrow" she covers "Shine" a song my hub really likes. Also " I get a Kick Out of You" (it swings, a bit of fun) and the one that means a lot to me "In The Sweet By and By" (Pop's fave) . The band Altan acompany her on some of that album. Sweet.
So very many...Christy Moore's version of "First Time Ever I saw Your face " is divine.
You guys won't get to hear thsi but my hub's band play santana's "Love of My Life" and "Smooth", Joe satriani's "Surfing With The Alien".........all good
PS: that song Popmartijn
mentions covered by Nirvana. I heard it years ago on a Long John Baldry album, and loved it, so I was delighted to hear Nirvana cover it too.
I like it under the covers
PS: my version of Running To Stand Still is pretty dang hot...imho
