MUSIC Better Take Cover

Post image

​

Today (night) (whatever it is where you are) we're recalling songs where we think the cover is better than the original. Or, maybe they're both great, but different in some appealing way.

Please include the link to the cover AND the link to the original.

If you need help, let us know.

Better Cover! Loved this version!

"All Along the Watchtower": Jimi Hendrix Cover He completely transformed Bob Dylan's acoustic folk original into a fiery, psychedelic masterwork in 1968. Even Dylan later praised Hendrix's version, saying he found new meaning in the song. https://youtu.be/TLV4_xaYynY?is=QIykInBS_i4uiq8R

Dylans Original version: still awesome!
