Originals and Covers
I'm up and out early these days. A local radio station every morning at 5.15 plays the original of a tune and then a cover version. He then invites listeners to vote for the one they think is best. Yesterday it was "New England" by Billy Bragg. The cover was of course the Kirsty MacColl version. Both good, hard choice. I went for the Billy one in the end. It got me thinking, if you had to choose a cover version of a song that is better than the original, what would it be?
