Re: Best cover version - ever!

Well as we are being limited to only one then it has to be Album - Belly of the Sun - Artist - Cassandra Wilson - Song - Witchita Lineman This is in my view a real cover in that it is a very different version to the original but stands up on its own merit.

Re: Black - Colin Vearncombe

Colin was about a voice and music with heart and emotion . I know there will be some that will say it is trite and just pop music but there is an art and skill in making good music no matter what the form .

Re: Juana Molina - Odd but something compelling
