Covers covered well

Monday, July 6th, 2009

There is a fine art to covering music. One wants to stay true to the original, while also making the song their own. Then comes the choice of the song. Do you reinvent an old favorite, or take a top 40 hit to another level? When a cover is done wrong it can be disappointing and upsetting, when it’s done right its preeeeeeetttty awesome.
