EVOL! Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Original: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7eCNLY7ezJo Zeppelin: Pink: Check out this version too www.youtube.com/watch?v=6tQubiPhhV0 [thumbdn] Sorry, traditional folk versions of this song win every time. In a recent post I sighted the Zeppelin version as one of the chief reasons I can't listen to much Zeppelin: Robert Plant's lyrics and vocals.

EVOL! Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Original: Cover: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tVfN7hZ9VkE Please tell me you're joking. Nothing against Joe's version, but you don't top the whiskey and unfiltered cigarette gravel of Waits. The difference is that Waits lives the song, Joe just performs it.

Well its as you said, not necessarily better, just a different attitude in the cover, and I prefer Joe's version because to me its seems livelier.

A friend of mine who dosn't speak English too well was very mad when he heard Bob Segers horrable cover of that great Metallica song about the hooker. I guess it's all in how you look at it.

I guess it's all in how you look at it. Oh no! An English speaking friend of mine (just stooopid :P) was mouthing off Thin Lizzy for covering Whiskey in a Jar, I was like "dude they sung it first its an old folk song, Metallica covered it" or sung there version or whatever since nobody owns the rights to folk songs. Here is some nifty Beatles and Metallica fusion, sorry if the video is crap it was lagging really bad on my computer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FKsUlAWYHpQ&feature=related Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djroge1 Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 I saw Diana Krall perform Jockey Full of Bourbon this last year in Denver. I'm not saying it's better... just another take on a great song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tNuu68NTi8s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shnate McDuanus Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 It's hard for me to play this game. I really can't think of any covers that I'd consider as "better" than the original... Well...maybe: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T098BBuvmjs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GgFPbBV-z0g Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference is that Waits lives the song, Joe just performs it. Don't be silly. The persona (and singing voice) of Tom Waits is Contrived, with a capital C. I would also add that, more often than not, covering a Bob Dylan song is improving a Bob Dylan song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dROK83 Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Baby It's You, Original by The Shirelles, Cover by Smith. The cover has a completely different feel than the original (and most other covers I've heard) and I just like it better.
