I don't know if this has been mentioned, but I was just listening to the album Fakebook by Yo La Tengo the other day. That is an entire album of covers, and it's fairly magnificent. Of course, most of those covers are so obscure that almost no one will recognize them as such. I myself haven't heard more than a couple of the originals that they were based on. Still, I got the album for their version of "Speeding Motorcycle", which was excellent. Their version of Cat Stevens' "Here Comes My Baby" is very worthy as well. And the rest of the album, judged on its own merits, is wonderful.

quote:The great Louis Armstrong song "What a Wonderful World" is currently being used in a TV commercial, and is performed woefully. That song needs the every man, gravelly voice of Armstrong to be believable.
