Subject: RE: great folk artists cover pop/rock tunes
Len Wallace (Accordion god and sometimes Mudcat Guest) does a truly KILLER cover of Taking Care Of Business

Mick O'Brien and the Distractions are world-reknown for their cover of "Blister In The Sun" by The Violent Fems... and "Last Kiss" by J. Frank Wilson & the Cavaliers...

Luther Right and the Wrongs redid the whole Pink Floyd album "The Wall" as bluegrass... and it SMOKES!

John Hiatt does a great bluegrass version of "I Wanna Be Sedated" by The Ramones

-I- cover the hell outa Prince's "When Doves Cry" (Luca Bloom can eat my shorts) and Duran Duran's "View To A Kill"... not to mention "Too Old To Rock N Roll: Too Young TO Die" by Jethro Tull, and "After Midnight" by JJ Cale... Oh... and "Overkill" by Colin Hay (Men At Work)... but no one knows that song but me... heh
