Best Cover Songs

January 20

One thing that I've always found perplexing is how incredibly rare good (or even tolerable) cover versions of Beatles songs are... you should think that these songs are so well written that it is impossible to screw 'em up, but no. (The most atrocious thing I have probably ever heard - and seen - was a version of I AM The Walrus that was sung by Bono... uuuuurrrrrgggh. My stomach churns just thinking about it!)

Having said that, here is one of the very rare exceptions to the rule:

Okay, technically this is a George Harrison solo song from 1970, written after the Fab Four had already split up, so perhaps it doesn't really count as a Beatles cover. But damn... this is as good as it gets!

1. Not sure how I feel about the original song, but I love this cover on the harp guitar!

2. An interesting and beautiful cover of the rock and roll masterpiece, November Rain.

If you want a constant source of entertaining covers, you can checkout

Marcus Veltri https://www.youtube.com/@MarcusVeltri/videos

He does solos and collaborations on the spot, so they are not always absolutely performance-perfect but they are entertaining.
