Terrific Cover Versions in 2020
___________
ALTHOUGH there has been more than enough….
great original music produced this year, there have been a lot of great cover versions. There are every year but it seems, at a time when a lot of artists have had more time to record music and keep busy, there have been more than normal! There has been quite a range delivered by various artists…whether that is through live streams and videos (as you can see from the ones I have included at the top and bottom of this feature) or official recordings. It is a shame that there are not more features regarding brilliant cover versions every year, as I feel they are quite important – and it is always interesting to see how artists tackle well-known songs and what direction they take them in. Therefore, for this Lockdown Playlist, I am featuring some of the best and most interesting cover versions from this year. From Billie Joe Armstrong, to Georgia, through to Lianne La Havas, to Father John Misty, there have been some marvellous takes. Enjoy this Lockdown Playlist, as we have an assortment of great artists giving their spin on…
SOME awesome songs.
