Who Did It Better???

[davismanLV]

It's a game Don and I play... one song... two artists. Who did it better??

Song is "Outbound Plane"



And then by the original writer...



JUST SO YOU KNOW THE RULES.... the SAME SONG by DIFFERENT PEOPLE... OKAY??

Lemme have it and who did it best?? I know my fave... but what's yours??

I liked Nanci Griffith’s version better.
Jimi Hendrix All Along the Watchtower

Original artist Bob Dylan

OKAY didn't need a day... this was a tough one.... I'm still not sure, but I'm leaning towards Bob D. You??

Jimi for me. Dylan said he made the song his and who am I to argue with Bobby?

Three Dog Night's version




Harry Nilsson's original

Both good, just very different approaches. Didn't know Nilsson did the original. Very nice arrangement.

Alison Krauss!

 

[HeyMikey]

Definitely generational…

S&G



Disturbed

 

[Midnight Toker]

Simon and Garfunkel by a country mile for Sounds of Silence...but not for the following.

And to give what I'd consider the most adventurous song cover ever done...and one of my alltime favs (the cover that is)



Or Yes

 

[gjmalcyon]

The first time I heard Alison Krause's version of "Baby, Now That I've Found You" it made my hair stand up. What a version.

How about:

Michael and Heather at the Baggage Claim, by Julian Velard and Alex Dezen

from the album Saving for a Custom Van

fatherdaughterrecords.bandcamp.com

The cover version is from the wonderful (and sad) Fountains of Wayne tribute album, Saving For A Custom Van, released after the death of Adam Schlesigner from COVID complications.

A nice song to play, too.
