Freebird!!!!!

I think Amanda Palmer officially deserves a place on my own person Mt Rushmoore of cool…i still get chills when thinking about her version of this song at Coachella.

…and once you open up the floodgate of Dylan covers, it’s hard to stem the tide.

Here is Jeff Buckley’s amazing take on ‘If You See Her Say Hello’…8 minutes of bliss…even the guitar tuning and awkward banter make me smile(on the longer version…had use the shorter one here because of space limits)

How have I done like 5 or 6 of these posts and not included a Dylan cover yet? We shall rectify that now with this killer version of one of my favorite Dylan songs by Jim James from My Morning Jacket.

How do you NOT love a band who culled their name from a character in a Wiliam S. Burroughs novel AND who obviously loves the Velvet Underground??

Enjoy Clem Snide’s gorgeous version of this Velvet song originally sung by Nico.

Beck’s beautiful cover of a Daniel Johnston classic. Another of my all time favorites.

Soul Asylum covering my favorite Victoria Williams tune.

Legend covering legends…Cash’s version of what may be my all time favorite song. Top Five for sure

Elvis Costello doing a beautiful medley of Johnny Cash’s “I Still Miss Someone” and George Jones’ “The Last Town I Painted”
