On the other hand, I LOVE Willie Nelson's version of "Songbird."

I think Eva's is even better than Christine's...so it just goes to show that everybody's tastes are different.

I like Eva Cassidy's version of 'Songbird'....I was excited that she'd recorded a song called 'Nightbird' too but its not Stevie's NB...not really sure who's it is.....just some thoughts.....

Someone mentioned Wilson Phillip's "Go Your Own Way". What makes their version so cruddy is they took the heart of the song out of it. GYOW is a major F-You song. It supposed to be dripping with venom. That's what makes it so great. You're standing there telling your ex that she was a mistake and I can't help it if I don't love you anymore, just get away and leave me alone. The WP girls took it and turned it around so now it's basically become a "poor pitiful me, go, leave I'm heartbroken" whinefest. It's fine to cover hit songs, but at least understand where the song is coming from and get the feel right!

I think it's fine to change the meaning of the song, if the new meaning comports with the lyrics. The sing-songy way Wilson Phillips perform the song does not match the lyrics to me. I always say that what I like about Matchbox Twenty's NGBA is that they sound numb and alienated from love and like they really are never going back. Lindsey's doesn't sound that way. They brought out a meaning in the song that Lindsey's version doesn't fully approach. Michele |

Eva Cassidy's Songbird.
Wilson Phillips' GYOW. I heard it in a store awhile ago and my jaw actually dropped. Bob Welch's take on Rhiannon. It's not *bad*, just different. I'm kind of on the fence about it. His Black Magic Woman is cool. |

OMG, I didn't know he covered that. What a trainwreck it has to be!

I LOVE Elton! I LOVE Fleetwood Mac! (and Elton loves Fleetwood Mac), but never should the two have musically met. It's just wrong!

Nobody has mentioned Judas Priest's version of 'Green Manalishi'! They've been playing it in every concert since 1978!
I thought there was some great stuff on the 'Peter Green Songbook' CDs. 'Oh Well' by Billy Sheehan was awesome. |
