Not sure if you would call his stuff "obscure" but joe has been the king of covering great tunes since the 1960s !

Thought of this one last nite after I heard it on my IPOD.

I put this in another thread... ignore the video... the original is one of my favorite tunes, and this is definitely a cover that does it justice!

nice and nice to look at too, not George, not my type

This tune is a Peggy Lee tune that is fantastic if you get the original. The tune is obscure to begin with . This is a fairly decent rendition. Also never mind the video as this is the only tune I can find on u tube. Peggy's is much better

I love obscure covers
Amie - Counting Crows
Gin N Juice - The Gourds (country cover of a Snoop Dogg song, hilarious!!)

Here is an obscure yet cool version of Watchtower:

Sound quality is mediocre but overall, great jam

I first heard this one a few weeks back, I think Luds posted it - truly awesome rendition, and now a favorite....

How about Zappa doing the Allmans - the Professa oughta like this one -

Well, this I would guess is a REAL obscure version of 'Whipping Post' performed by a young Emily Elbert...:huh:

I think Dad may have taped her performance at home - although I gotta admit her voice and style reminds me a lot of Ellen McIlwaine -

And who in the hell, you may ask, is Ellen McIlwaine?

Another very good bluesy/folksy type in Uncle Crafty's pile 'o' vinyl...:hihi:

I probably shouldn't make jokes about this young lady - she may be a Grammy winner one day - her phrasing is actually pretty good for a kid.

Hey, you wanted obscure, right?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TAv6fwsBx4s

Uhhh... saw a couple more of Emily's tunes - I think it may be a while before she shows up as a Grammy nominee - hey, hang in there kid...

Another version of Whipping Post by Lina Koutrakis...

And who is Lina Koutrakis?

Damned if I know, but here she is performing at BB King's Blues Cafe -

So, can a Greek girl really sing the blues?

I dunno, the jury may still be deliberating on that one - although when she starts wailing at about 4 minutes into it she does sorta remind me of a coupla Greek women I've known...:shocked:

Warren Zevon and a few of the guys from R.E.M. formed a band called "Hindu Love Gods" a few years ago. They did a killer version of Prince's "Rasberry Beret"

He's playing the stadium theater in Woonsocket, RI on April 3rd. I'm going with a couple of friends of mine.

Ignore the video... I don't get it...

LOL my friend and i used to say that all the time. Kind of became my nickname for a while. My name is Larry

Zappa also did lots of Beatles tunes too ,but with more risqué lyrics as I would expect. Like lucy in the sky with diamonds became Louisana hooker with herpes.

AMAZING!

This is off Greg's newest album. Give it a listen as i think he may be one of the best players out there now. He is not just loud and fast he has substance and knowledge plus all the chops to challenge anyone at any style.

A nice take by Gnarls Barkley of Reckoner by Radiohead. My favorite Radiohead cover I've ever heard by far. Not that there's a lot of them but usually when you do hear one it's a spectacular crash and burn such Panic at the Disco's Karma Police cover.
