Covers

So I haven't done a music post in a while, so I figured I would do one and I am focusing on cover songs. By no means am I saying all of these songs are better than the originals, but some are- you be the judge..
Creep - Brandi Carlile- her voice is crazy, I can't get enough of it- She sings the SHIT out of this song. She also has a great cover of Hallelujah but my favorite cover of that song should be no surprise to anyone.
Hallelujah- Jeff Buckley- this song is probably one of the most covered songs out there... but Buckley added something to this song that no one has, as lame as it sounds,I feel his soul when I hear him sing.
My City of Ruins - Eddie Vedder- this man can sing....I have been a fan of his since middle school when i wore my Pearl Jam "Jeremy" shirt almost everyday to school. His cover of this song had to make Bruce Springsteen proud.
Addicted to Love - Florence and the Machine- I could listen to this girl sing just about anything. I think it is impressive when someone can take an otherwise cheesy song and make it awesome.
Green  River - M. Ward - love this song
Midnight Rider and Buckets of Rain - The Wood Brothers- Buckets of Rain is one of my top 5 Dylan songs- these guys do it justice
Hey Ya - Obadiah Parker - I freaking love his version of this song- this song is on many different playlists on my ipod. He rocks it. I have had to take to not listening to this one in the car because I get lightheaded whilst singing it.
I'm on Fire - Kelly Dalton - mellow cover and again one of my faves
Forever Young - Audra Mae & the Forest Rangers. There have been quite a few covers of this song but this one is my favorite
Private Eyes- The Bird and the Bee - fun song, again not a song that I would normally listen to but I like their version
It's a Long Way to the Top- Lucinda Williams - she makes it sound so dirty :)
