Your favorite cover songs, time to share

So something like this for @securityguy ?

That's the spirit! That's a damn good tune too. If I was scrolling from Outlaw County to Ozzy's Boneyard and hit me some Christopher Cross, I be jamming.......probably Michael McDonald too!
 
Here's Michael McDonald covering Marvin Gaye's I heard it Through The Grapevine. I ve heard a better version of this before.


 
I haven't listened to Helter Skelter from Motley Crue's Shout at the Devil's album in a while. It's got some great guitar and percussion! I seen a lyric from this song today and immediately had to listen again.

This song and others from the Beatles White album are often credited as the beginning of heavy metal!

It was one of several songs on Shout that got me into metal and harder rock circa 1983-84. I would listen to Ronny Milsap on the country radio in the tractor and then blast some rock dragging main in my brother's Plymouth Sport Fury when I was about 15-16 YO.

RIP to Country singer David Allen Coe.! He has such a great voice and some great music. Oftentimes polarizing and complicated, yet unmistakable hard core country to the bone........a legend of Outlaw Country!

One of my favorite songs he sings is "Please Come to Boston" and I just love his voice in it. This is a cover originally recorded by David Loggins, which is also a really great song, but a bit more folk/easy listening in sound. Just a really good sets of lyrics in a heartfelt song done well by both artists.

The fact that those of us who grew up in the era of Mr David Allan Coe remember how hard he lived in his prime and even he himself said that he would never see the age of 40 just goes to show how stubborn and a true outlaw of a man he was. Will miss him, rest in peace brother longhaired redneck.

No cover on this post, just a great video of the man himself.
