John5 is so good on this song

Gretchen Wilson, who's not even related to Ann or Nancy (and is a country artist ), along with Alice In Chains, pulled this off. Guess if you got the Heart, you can do it.

Barracuda

I loved this version, Nancy is also in the video playing the guitar.

@PoppaBear posted a Stevie Ray Vaughan cover of Jimi Hendrix’s song “Little Wing” earlier today. Here’s a sizzling live version recorded in Toronto.

Tom "Lucifer" Ellis doing a Radiohead cover

There are quite a few that have covered "Creep" and done it well, all with their own style. PMJ comes to mind...
As a fan challenge/request Paulina took 4 hours to learn this song then recorded it on her iPhone.

Here's one more Hendrix song, this time from stoner/doom metal band All Them Witches doing a killer cover of Voodo Chile.

Ataris covers "Boys of Summer". Packs a little more punch than the original. Lyrics by Don Henley, but Mike Campbell from Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers wrote the music. Brought it to Tom first, but Tom didn't think it fit them. Producer Jimmy Iovine suggested Henley.

Mike Campbell now with Fleetwood Mac, and he played lead on that song for Henley. One of my all-time favorites. I noticed the Ataris changed some lyrics. Not a Deadhead sticker.

 

[McFly]

Must be a classic, given the number and diversity of performers who've covered it. Ella Fitzgerald, Fred Astair, Edith Piaf, Marlene Dietrich, José Feliciano, to name a few.

"Summer Wine" is a song written by Lee Hazlewood. It was originally sung by Suzi Jane Hokom and Lee Hazlewood in 1966, but it was made famous by Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazlewood in 1967.

I really enjoy this version

Like so many others, died young... "...Larson died on December 16, 1997, in Los Angeles, California, as a result of complications arising from cerebral edema triggered by liver failure...."

 

[Magic32]

I have always liked this version

Otis! My man!

 

[MSGRET]

How about some Aerosmith, a band that played at my high school after prom party back in 72. Enjoy this cover of Cryin'.

 

[MSGRET]

You wouldn't suspect this from Carrie Underwood, enjoy.

 

[MSGRET]

The begining of "Shut Up and Kiss Me", great cover of Led Zeppelin, enjoy.

 

[MSGRET]

School of Rock covering the Mama's and Papa's, enjoy.

Final one for the day, a different type of a cover. Sina is doing all of the parts to Rapper's Delight, not bad for a 15 year old, who's second language is English. Sorry for the German at the end, I will not translate it.

Always loved this cover the best:
