"Various covers" sure do add a perspective.

A couple years ago I went thru a collection of many versions that someone had posted of "Hard Times Come Again No More".

I found 18 that I liked a lot, 22 that were 'sorta ok'.... and 43 that made me wonder what they were thinking of! Several were incomprehensibly weird.

Many 'newer' ones sounded like they were just trying to be different for the sake of being different.... which is what I suspect happens with many covers.
