Best Covers of Rock Songs



Grateful Dead version is also excellent
 
Here's a Heart classic covered masterfully by Alice in Chains (joined by Nancy Wilson) fronted by country singer Gretchen Wilson on vocals at the 2007 VH1 Rock Honors concert. One of the greatest covers ever.

Gretchen shreds the vocals and Jerry Cantrell gives a master class on lead guitar.

I didn't go back thru to count, but not surprisingly lots of Beatles and Dylan popping up. Heart and Metallica also well represented.

Member of The Warning Army reporting for duty. Who would have thought my first post after years of lurking would be about The Warning. Extremely talented young sisters, ages 21, 19 and 16, from Monterrey, Mexico.

A cover of the Soggy Bottom Boys? Probably more like a blind fiddler from KY, Dick Burnett, maybe or maybe just a song that was around. Not originally a "rock" song, but they make it one.

Man of Constant Sorrow - Charm City Devil's

 
I think I saw another cover of this earlier in the thread. Not Marshall Tucker, but he has a really good Marshall Tucker like voice.

Can't You See - Black Stone Cherry

 
Cool hurricane song. Written by a group of guys. Covered by Leon Helm and more recently Band of Heathens. I like Laine's version.

Hurricane - Laine Hardy

Bruce Springsteen with incredible cover of Chuck Berry. You can skip the first 2:20 if you are not interested in how they put it together. But you must listen to this!
