Cyndi Lauper again. Does she ever stop? This time featuring Jonny Lang on a BB King cover. I've seen lots of live performances in my life. Jonny Lang was one of the best. If you ever get a chance to see him, don't pass it up.

I wouldn't mind seeing Paul Rogers in drag. [fans self] They do put on a great live show.

At least you can have some happening gowns in their cover of "It's Now Or Never."

Malian goddess Rokia Traore (b.1974) makes a rare excursion into English-language song: the Gershwins' "The Man I Love."

Meanwhile, in Oz, American Eric Bibb (b. 1951) covers the Jimmy Oden classic "Goin' Down Slow."

Sometimes the simplest treatment is the best. [Cool]

HIM covering Chris Issaks' Wicked Game. Preposterous video, but very good song.

There have been approximately 8,000,000,000,000,000 versions of "What Is This Thing Called Love?" recorded since Cole Porter penned it in 1929.

If you ask me, this 1963 version by Sarah Vaughan (1924-1990) is still the best of them all.

These two hit all the right notes on this Van Morrison cover.

Tori usually includes random covers in her concerts. She puts her unique spin on everything she touches. My favorite is her cover of Lloyd Cole's Rattlesnakes .

The Power Station was a crazy - in a good way - idea. Great finds, John.

The great Joni Mitchell, in a refreshingly playful mood that permeates what I believe to be her most underrated album, "Wild Things Run Fast", covers a favorite oldie of hers:

More Joni. Thanks, Fanfic Lady.

Here's Amy Ray from the Indigo Girls covering Dire Straits. Much more raw and heartfelt than the original.

Yeah, Xmas is already over. But Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn's re-imagining of "The Nutcracker Suite" is glorious any time of year!

"Sugar Rum Cherry", fka "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy."

(My Mom once glowered at me for playing this on the tape deck in her car. Parents. No sense of adventure, I tell you...)
