Duet is nice find! I thought about putting this song up, but the Tucker original is clearly better than the cover. Hall original is just barely better than the cover. Both songs are among the best country songs ever written.
Harry Belafonte - I’m Just a Country Boy Don Williams cover I always thought this was a Don Williams original until I made a shocking discovery a month ago!
Some have said that “Like a Rolling Stone” is the greatest rock song of all time. But they forget to say that the cover is better than the original.
Together Again Buck Owens Emmylou Harris For years, I thought Emmylou version was original. I first heard Buck Owen’s original a couple years ago. At first I said “Nah”, but now I think it might be better.
The start of the cover made me feel it was too smooth, but she crancked up the roughness to the needed level
Bite your tongue! (Of course, I am duty bound to severely overreact to any comment about Joy Division) Actually, Galxie 500's cover is okay, but a bit nasally and too slow. It lacks the depth of Joy Division's original, nor the desperation of New Order's.
Hotel California Eagles Oruro Festival of Bands (not better, but sure is different!) This was 3 days ago in Oruro, Bolivia. 5000+ musicians, almost all brass and percussion. These bands all will play in the Oruro Carnival parade on Saturday to accompany the dance groups, with some 30,000 dancers.
