Covers and Originals - YouTube edition

I know the White Stripes cover of Death Letter was already posted - but this live version is just balls-drainingly awesome.



The entire RATM covers album is still probably my favorite work by them, certain tracks do stand out though.

Very few acts can cover Dylan worth a shit





And yea, Taylor Swift covering something, I know

This was written by Tom Waits for Johnny Cash, but he later recorded it himself.




























I don't know the origins of Corrina Corrina, but it's been covered a thousand times by everyone from Bob Dylan to Steppenwolf. These are two of my favorites.
















































I wish John would do a full version of this song.

John Mellencamp gets plenty of airplay on classic rock radio stations, but he never really gets the credit he deserves as a good musician. Not only has he written plenty of great songs, but he has done very well with some covers over the years.

























There have been many covers of John the Revelator, but these two really stand out to me.
