This song topic has been posted before, cover songs, but I came across this version of a cover song today. The most popular version of this song from the '70s was a huge hit for the great Linda Ronstadt, which was a cover too. (I didn't know that.)
Today I saw this version.



Let the fun begin, I hope...
 
One of many covers or "Who Knows Where the Time Goes." In fact, this is the first version of the song I ever heard. I like this version, but it doesn't quite stand up to Sandy Denny's version when she was with Fairport Convention.

 
I adore Steely Dan and love listening to cover bands doing their stuff.

These guys are pretty good covering "Black Cow".

 
I am posting this cover again because in previous threads I posted that Mott the Hoople were the original artists. I was wrong, Ian Hunter was the original artist when he was a solo artist and not a member of Mott the Hoople.
Plus it's one of my top ten cruisng songs.

This was a Beatle song and was in the movie Sucker Punch. Great movie with other great cover songs

Full credit for me knowing anything about this fascinating instrument/cover goes to @Bigboote.
Mr Boo-tay is a wealth of information/knowledge about obscure/ unknown/ unique musical instruments and passed this on to me.
I can't even begin to imagine the talent it takes to play this.
