"Big Yellow Taxi" - by The Counting Crows (originally by Joni Mitchell) This is a smooth, fun cover interpetted by the Counting Crows.
"Sexual Healing" - by Soul Asylum (originally by Marvin Gaye) It's hard to beat a soulful version of this song but our Minneapolis fan favorites, Soul Asylum makes a modern, pop-y version of this cool, sexual song.
"Two of Us" - by Aimee Mann (originally by The Beatles) Aimee's duet with Michael Penn is stellar. Their voices blend so nicely together. And being married doesn't hurt the sweetness of the song. Wished they had worked together more musically.
"Mrs. Robinson" - by The Lemonheads (orginally by Simon and Garfunkel) A pop-y and crunchy version of this 60's song.
"Ring of Fire" - by Social Distortion (orginally by Johnny Cash) A Rockabilly slant to this country standard. I love Mike Ness's vocal style in this song.
"Tears of a Clown" - by The English Beat (orginally by Smokey Robinson) This Smokey song never had it so good with a ska beat to it.
"Dancing Barefoot" - by U2 (orginally by Patti Smith) This version has a totally different feel to it that only Bono and U2 could put on it.
"I Fought the Law" - by The Clash (orginally by Bobby Fuller) I actually did not know this was a cover version, but The Clash kind of own this one now. I like the way The Clash made this song their own.
"Wild Horses" - by The Sundays (originally by The Rolling Stones) This is a sweet cover of a great Stones song. At first it feels weird hearing a female voice. But the delivery is so good, it does not matter that it's a female voice.
"Hazy Shade of Winter" - by The Bangles (orginally by Simon and Garfunkel) This version is as fresh and fun as any Bangles song.
