Thank You so Much... Eva Cassidy's cover of "Songbird" was my choice too... Sooooooo Beautiful... ;-)

I just found this cover of That's Alright.

Kinda what it'd sound like if Patsy Cline could've covered it.

[Sleepless-Child]

Some of my fave FMac covers:

The Melvins - Green Manalishi
Annie McLoone - Spare Me A Little Of Your Love
Chaka Khan - Everywhere
KC & The Sunshine Band (?!?!?) - Don't Stop
Rod Stewart - Stand Back
Cyndi Lauper - You Make Loving Fun
Goo Goo Dolls - I Don't Want To Know
Kick Axe - The Chain
Rusty Wier - Don't Let Me Down Again (he also covered Lindsey's "Lola (My Love)" and Stevie's "Think About It" on the same album)
Waylon Jennings & Willie Nelson - Gold Dust Woman
Pamela Stanley - Rhiannon
Matchbox 20 - Never Going Back Again
Pointer Sisters - Hypnotized
the aforementioned Eva Cassidy - Songbird

WHAT ? Where can I find this ?

The 1978 album Energy. There's one used CD of it on amazon.com for $4.99

Thanks . But I won't buy a Pointer Sisters' CD just to listen to a Fleetwood Mac song, so I guess I'll never hear it.

Btw, I like this Nightbird cover.

Some channel (TV ONE, I think) has a musician biography series called Unsung, which is really good. The subjects are usually lesser-known black artists and groups. Anyways, I just watched one on Melbe Moore, which led me to do some searching where I found that she covered "Dreams" on a 1985 album. I really want to hear it!

Here are three covers of "That's Alright", I absolutely love this song lately for some reason. I like the first one the best, the other two sound generic to me.

[Fiver]

I likes the second one best, hehehe...

It's really quiet at first though. But when she belts it at 2:49 it totally makes the cover.

I definitely overlooked this song at first, but it's my fave on the album now.

Me too haha, I'll admit that skipped it for a long time, but Mirage is slowly becoming one of my favorites

I just discovered that Waylon Jennings covered Rhiannon...
I call it Waylannon.

Welcome to The Ledge! I love Nickel Creek's cover of I Want You back. Like Toxic though,. I just wish there was a better quality version than the ones on youtube so that I could have it in my collection! Do you know of one?

I'd love to hear ...
Dolly Parton do That's Alright
Patty Griffin do Storms
Teddy Thompson do Love in Store
Counting Crows do Save Me a Place
Mary Chapin Carpenter do Honey Hi
Heart do Smile at You

Oooohhh, now this is a good idea! I like some of these suggestions, especially the Counting Crows one. After FM they're probably my favourite band. Adam is a fantastic lyricist and a really underrated vocalist - check out any of their live shows for proof!

Ann Wilson would kick some serious ass doing the "angry" version of Smile At You

[bucklind17]

It's true that I think this band can do little/no wrong, but I love Steel Train's cover of "Tusk". Doesn't vary too heavily from the original but has a nice ST stamp on it. Love the drums and Jack Antonoff's take on the vocals doesn't disappoint.



Not the best video quality but the audio is alright. They officially released the cover on their Live from Bonnaroo album too.

Just got around to checking this out. I tend to really like the 3rd one the best. I like her voice and the arrangement better.
