More Cover Song Fun

Following up the R&R HoF cover song discussion

I’ve been thinking about songs that would make good cover tunes. Let’s face it, no one really expected The English Beat to cover Tears of a Clown by Smokey Robinson, but it works.

However, I’ve come up with a twist — the artists have to trade songs. So here are a few suggestions:

Van Morrison covers Thorn in My Pride by The Black Crowes
The Black Crowes cover Cleaning Windows by Van Morrison

Mindi Abair covers Righteous by Eric Johnson
He covers Come As You Are by her

Train performs Not Even The Trees from Hootie & The Blowfish’s debut
Hootie covers Calling All Angels

Bryan Adams takes a crack at Daylight Fading from Counting Crows
They turn around and cover She’s Only Happy When She’s Dancing

Whitesnake does Jealous Lover; Rainbow does Fool For Your Loving; Roger Glover gets totally confused.

Sheryl Crow sings Keep the Faith by Bon Jovi. He belts out If It Makes You Happy.

There’s plenty of fun to be had by all here…

Thanks for checking out Six Degrees of Radio, and chiming in. If you don’t give this article the finger, or a thumb, then I won’t know how much you’re digging it.
