madhorseman Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 (edited) Me Too!! OK, I can't remember someone else did a version of this song,right? https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=fleetwood+mac+black+magic+woman+studio+version Edited May 6, 2014 by madhorseman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaronw Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 (edited) A little different take on NWA's Straight out of Compton Mr B the Gentleman Rhymer The original song being covered violates many of the boards rules on language so you are on your own to find it.

kurth Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 (edited) What a great idea. I actually do spend a fair amount of time going down the "youtube rabbit hole" finding covers of songs. Many of my favorites have been posted in this thread already,such as the Sheryl Crow Walk away andVanilla Fudge's Keep me hanging on Here are some of my favorites: The one that got me started after watching the Concert For Bangladesh .. Leon Russel and with many others doing jumping jack flash: How about the Temptations doing Eye of the tiger? Or a very early Van Halen taking on Rainbow's Main on the silver mountain? [yt] [/yt] I can not post here because of the language, but if you like Queen's Stone Cold Crazy, check out the Metallica version Edited May 6, 2014 by kurth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry P. Posted May 7, 2014 Author Share Posted May 7, 2014 Is it possible to do a cover version of your own song? Grace Slick wrote "Somebody to Love" (and "White Rabbit") while she was a member of The Great Society, a local San Francisco band. After The Great Society broke up, Signe Anderson, the lead singer of another local San Francisco band Jefferson Airplane, left that band due to the birth of her child. The Airplane asked Grace Slick if she would like to join the band and replace Signe. And the rest, as they say, is history. Everyone knows the Airplane's version of "Somebody to Love" and "White Rabbit," so here's a "reverse cover"... the original version of "Somebody to Love" recorded by Grace Slick and The Great Society before she joined Jefferson Airplane and they had a big hit with the song...

Craig Irwin Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 (edited) This will show just how far covers can go. (And no, the Animals were not the first) Again my love of psychedelia rears it's ugly head.

1930fordpickup Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 This gal was 15 when she recorded this. It seems that the future of blues lies with teenage white kids. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1KBkg_-EZo One of my all-time favorite songs. Never heard it done like this! Pretty cool... I read about her in Playboy (yes I said read ) and purchased the CD. I liked the CD. I was hoping to see her in concert. I went to Nashville for a concert weekend called River Stages and she was playing. After the show she was sighing autographs . I am standing there getting my autograph and her mom asks how I heard about Shannon. I told her about the review that I read in Playboy. I must have been beet red. Anyway she is a backup singer for Kid Rock now. She still does some some solo stuff .She has three or four CDS out now. Sorry about the long winded post but I like her music.

Oh Yeah, an artist can cover one of their own songs! Here's Todd, with Nazz doing a song he later had more success with as a solo artist Myself I prefer the Nazz version, but that's my take.

W-409 Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 I'm a huge fan of Music, too. My favorite band is The Go Getters from Sweden. Here are a couple of covers: Everyone knows Rocky Burnette's Hip Shakin' Baby? Here's Go Getters' version. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AnQa0ybtCTY And Ramones' Blitzkrieg Bop? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=917hy3jclkA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy Ed Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Then there's the Nitty Gritty Dirt Bands "signature" Song Mr Bojangles, written by Jerry Jeff Walker. Also Stevie Ray Vaughan did a version of Little Wing that would have had Hendrix nodding in approval. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
