Guest Blogger: Beatles Songs Covered (Max – Part 2)
Fantastic list, Max! And I’m truly shocked about your no. 1! 🙂 To me, it’s the ultimate rock remake. I also agree it’s better than the original – no question!
I also love the renditions by Emmylou Harris and Johnny Cash. I will admit the latter has gotten under my skin and made me cry.
And what can one say about that out-of-this-world guitar solo by Prince? To me, it’s almost like a dividing line: The time prior to that rendition at the Rock & Hall of Fame and the time thereafter. While I dig the original and solo version by George Harrison and Eric Clapton, after listening to Prince that song simply never sounds the same.
Thanks for the shout-out, BTW. The two ladies of Larkin Poe keep blowing me away. They’re just so super talented, and their harmony singing is something else!
Two other Beatles covers I find outstanding are the following:
Those are all pretty good covers. That is a list that would be hard to do- there must be a million covers of Beatles songs out there- some really stand out though.
I either didn’t know many or pay them much attention. I dont’ think you could run out if you try.
