Cover wars

Been enjoying a game with my daughter where we pick a song and fight over which is the best version. Today drift away (ray Charles for me) and dimming of the day (Alison Krauss for both of us)

Nice to find a good use for Spotify and it occurred to me it might make a fun thread title

anyone suggest a better version of drift away, the original was hard to beat, uncle cracker was a surprise front runner for a while too. Jac Ross is a nice discovery tho

I think you might enjoy the FT’s Life Of a Song

There is also a book.

Probably paywalled.

Agree with the AK version, but I like the David Gilmour version, mainly because you so seldom see him do covers
