He did good work with Rickie Lee Jones, too.

Say You Love Me is actually quite boring and annoying. I miss Chris.

I'd say Ari Hest's cover of "Little Lies" is my favorite.
And then some guy on YouTube covered Stand Back, and I like the way he changed it up and did an acoustic version of it.

I love this! He performed a very tasteful arrangement of the song. Great voice too. Is he a recording artist? I've never heard of him.

It was a new take on that song and something Lindsey and Stevie could do up on stage, toned down and simplified just like Ari's version (since Chris isn't there). I think that would sound great and totally surprise us fans and most of us would fall over from hearing the song.

I agree. Unfortuntately, they really don't think that way.

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

I commend them for covering the song, and the way it was arranged. The band was good, but the vocals were horrible. That girl doesn't know how to sing or perform.

gotta love how the bass player is dressed like john mcvie. and didn;t we all just know Adam Lambert would sing Stevie's part of the chorus?? although, his histrionics in the verse he sings are completely uncalled for.

Why is today's style to bone-crunch everything into an impenetrable brick wall? Are the players so lacking in confidence that they don't want to be heard individually?

Didn't notice the bass player, that is awesome! I expected him to sing Christine or Lindsey's part of the chorus since they're the highest... as for the histrionics, you're basically guaranteed them every time Adam opens his mouth(Life on Mars? not included) I like 'em though!

Res, a musician i like quite a bit for her song "They Say Vision" did an EP called "Refried Mac" where she covered a handful of Fleetwood Mac's hits and a Stevie song (Eo17)....
now, usually i'm not the biggest fan of "covers" - but i really liked it because it was a pretty different rendering/interpretation and i felt like it kept with the root of what the songs were. so, i thought i'd post some of her live performances of it here!

Does anyone have Stevie singing Christine's songs? I have Christine singing on Dreams and Gypsy for a soundcheck, so I was just wondering if there is anything out there...

While it's definitely not the same (and in no way better) than Stevie's performance, I've always liked Waylon's version. He does a very credible take on Bob Seger's "Turn The Page" on the album of the same name.

He also covered "Gold Dust Woman" on the original "Waylon & Willie" album, I think Willie does backing vocal on that one but not sure. I know it's not a duet.

Willie covered Christine's "Songbird" a couple of years ago and it was a totally different arrangement. Not saying it was the best thing I ever heard, but it was interesting at the very least. I like it, but it's not one of my favourite things to listen to.
