[Wyld Card 5]

I always like the RHCP cover of this Ramones song.

[Carl 21]

I like that. The Chilis are good at finding a new groove on an old song. Van Halen (early version) was like that too.

[Rayzor 1]

Heart covering any Led Zep tune is as good as Zep themselves. Ann does a great Plant impression & Nancy is a guitar goddess able to play any song

I never thought any cover of this S&G classic would work...so well.

....what you think.?

One of my favorite classics "Reflections Of My Life" was recently covered by Marmalade's lead singer, Dean Ford. This is significant in that Dean is nearing 70 years old, which adds a poignancy and depth to the song that it might have lacked with 25 year-old youngsters singing it. The video accompanying Dean's singing is rather telling, as well.

You can give a listen here.

Edit add: video includes guitar and vocals of Badfinger's Joe Tansin, who is also producing a new album in which he collaborates with Dean Ford.

I love that song...One of my favorites!

[CanAm 6]

A very beautiful song. I'd never heard it before. Ford's voice is remarkably fine for a man his age.

My first thought, as well, CanAm. Ford's voice is indeed a gift that he has cared for well over the years.

The original version of this song is now on my Ipod.

Bob Seger's cover of Tina Turner's "Nutbush City Limits". Incredible.

[jai nance 1]

day tripper[the vontastics]is much better that the beatles version.

[jai nance 1]

James Brown's version of Little Willie John's- Cottage For Sale is the better version.
