Mentioned this one in the best album of 2016 today, Black Angel Drifter is a very cool recent release, supposedly destined to be a one-off collaboration of Anne Gilpin and Robert ‘Hacker’ Jessett of the UK alt-country band Morton Valence, but one of the big highlights on the album is this amazing cover of Dylan's "The Man in the Long Black Coat" ...
One of the greatest examples of a best cover version of all time... Badfinger's original version for the sake of comparison... Badfinger - Without You - Television 1972 » Cat
The Byrds - You Got a Reputation (Tim Hardin) Nick Drake - Milk and Honey (Jackson C. Frank) Scott McKenzie - Celeste (Donovan) Jeff Buckley - All Tomorrow’s Parties (The Velvet Underground) Kate Wolf - These Days (Jackson Browne) Harry Nilsson - Love Story (Randy Newman) Gram Parsons - The Last Thing On My Mind (Tom Paxton)
Tons of favorites- Best cover song... » Covers that are sweeter sounding than the original, and better for it. » Cover Songs you prefer over the original » Apoptygma Berzerk's cover of Suede's 'Trash'
I heard him on the radio last week doing Dylan's "Tombstone Blues." He has a very distinctive voice, a very good interpreter of others material. I was still singing it a couple days later.
