Candlebox - Cover Me
"Okay, it ain't a cover song....but it is THE TITLE TRACK of the Cover Me comp." - Autopsy IV

AVAIL - Dixie - Pink Houses (John Mellencamp)
"Everyone here should know about Tim Barry by now. This is he what he sounded like with his band AVAIL tearing up Johnny Cougar Mellencamp's 'Pink Houses'." - DownSouth

Lucero - Live - Ring of Fire (Johnny Cash)
"DownSouth hooked me up with 3 versions of this from live shows...this is the best IMO" - JacksonDavis

Hank III - Love Sick, Broke, And Driftin' - Atlantic City (Bruce Springsteen)
"This is one of the best covers I have ever heard he just nails." - hateandjealousy
"Originally appearing on Springsteen's album, Nebraska. Personally, I love this track by Hank but not by Bruce. I'm sure that's cause I quite simply am no fan of Bruce...but back to the song...I love the bleakness of it." - Autopsy IV

Ted Hawkins - Next 100 Years - Long As I Can See The Light (Creedence Clearwater Revival)
"I just got this record again" - Snodgrass

William Elliott Whitmore - Hiram and Huddie - Gallis Pole (traditional)
"The Maid Freed from the Gallows" is a centuries old folk song. It was recorded in 1939 as "Gallis Pole" by folk singer Huddie Ledbetter (better known as Lead Belly), but the most famous version was the 1970 cover of the Lead Belly version by English rock band Led Zeppelin, which was entitled "Gallows Pole" on the album Led Zeppelin III." - Autopsy IV

Dead Kennedys - Viva Las Vegas (Elvis)

Jawbox - Scrapbook of My Fatal Accidents - I've Got You Under My Skin (Cole Porter)
"This is so hauntingly beautiful. If I were to make a mix tape for a girl, this would lead it off. I'm a creepy guy I suppose." - mattmeister

The Corn Sisters - The Other Women - This Little Light of Mine (traditional)
"Just because I haven't sung it since Sunday school doesn't mean it isn't a cover!" - TheOtherBrit

Jon Snodgrass w/ Two Cow Garage - Remember (Schemers)
"It's a Schemer's song written by Mark Cutler the other guy singing is Emerson Torrey Jr. the son of Emerson Torrey from the Schemers who recorded it at his studio in R.I.Two Cow learned the song the night before. I played it for them on the jukebox at Jake's. We cut it live and this is take 2 of 3..Jon." - JacksonDavis

Uncle Tupelo - Effigy
"I just love the power and the distortion of the guitar in this song. And it represents everything I like about Uncle Tupelo. And plus it is a great song for ... playing airguitar." - AirGuitar

Steve Earle - Copperhead Road - Nebraska (Bruce Springsteen)
"This is really good one, there are better covers, but this is really good." - hateandjealousy

Drag The River - Down The Road (Steve Earle)
"When I first got DTR's "Live at the Starlight" CD I was excited to see 'Down The Road' was on the handwritten set list that was on the back of the album. I was hoping it was the Steve Earle classic, but alas it was not actually on the CD and I was left to wonder about what might have been. A few years later I acquired the cover song I had dreamt about from another show and it was eveything I hoped it would be. Chad really hit it out of the park" - DownSouth
"From a live show back in 2004. Maybe Boulder Colorado but maybe not. Chad sounds great on this." - SxPxDxCx

Social Distortion - White Light, White Heat, White Trash (hidden track) - Under My Thumb (Rolling Stones)
"The first time I saw Social D, they opened with this tune. I love this band. I love this cover. I love the original. I hate cheese." - BoneMachine

Lucero - Live at the George Street Grocery (1/4/06) - Ain't No Sunshine (Bill Withers)
"They used to do this one all the time, but it's been long enough that a bunch of board folks have probably never heard it." - Boston Twang

Melvins - Star Spangled Banner - Detroit Rock City (Kiss)
"From a limited pressing of 800 this is by far one of my favorite melvins covers. The drummers thunder as always." - What?

Blood On The Saddle - Folsom Prison Blues (Johnny Cash)
"Probably one of the most covered songs in what is probably one of the fastest versions out there. I recently saw the Johnny Cash movie again and have listened since to his stuff - and the many covers out there. You can't like music without digging him. (I hope the sound quality is bearable as this is converted from vinyl to digital)" - AirGuitar

Elvis Costello - Almost Blue - Good Year for the Roses (George Jones)
"I like covers that don't sound like covers. This is one of the most clever and saddest songs I know." mattmeister

Nine Pound Hammer - Mulebite Deluxe - Dead Flowers (Rolling Stones)
"It was tough to decide on a NPH cover tune. They've done smokin' versions of Folsom Prison Blues, Ain't Nothin' To Do by the Dead Boys, This Drinkin' Will Kill Me by Dwight Yoakam, Radar Love by Golden Earring, etc. It's all good and so is this one. It's one of my favorite Rolling Stones' songs." - BoneMachine

Mudcrutch - Shade Grove (traditional)
"Shady Grove" is the toned down and Americanized version of the English traditional folk ballad "Matty Groves". The earliest published version of "Matty Groves" dates back to 1658, but it is believed the song was being printed on broadside possibly as early as 1607." - Autopsy IV

Evan Dando -Return of the Grievous Angel- $1,000 Wedding (Gram Parsons)
"Drugs and alcohol from the 70's meets drugs and alcohol from the 90's" - Colorado Alan

Thin Lizzy - Live & Dangerous - Rosalie (Bob Seeger)
submitted by Snodgrass

Deer Tick - Beautiful Girls (Sean Kingston)
"Damn all these beautiful girls They only wanna do your dirt." - ColoradoAlan

Bonnie 'prince' Billy - Ask Forgiveness Ep - Am I Demon (Danzig)
"Typical lyrical bleakness from Danzig. Will Oldham does a great job with it." - SxPxDxCx

Sugar - Live 7/22/92 Bootleg (9450 Digital Remaster) - Dum Dum Boys (Iggy Pop)
"Another Gem from a show in 92. Special Sauce Added, not much just to level it out" - What?

Jason & The Scorchers - Wildfires & Misfires - Lost Highway (Hank Williams)
"It's no secret that Jason & The Scorchers are one of the finest live acts to ever grace a stage. Period. End of discussion. One of my favorite memories of them was the show on New Year's Eve 1999/2000. With all of the Y2K bullshit hanging overhead like vultures waiting to shit on someone's windshield, the band came out opened with a little intro then kicked into Lost Highway. I damn near wept. This isn't from that night, but it still kicks ass. I cannot imagine any Lucero fan or fan of alt-country not liking Jason & The Scorchers since they damn near put it on the freakin' map." - BoneMachine

The Saints - River Deep Mountain High (Ike and Tina Turner)
submitted by noteethleroy

Circle Jerks - Golden Show of Hits - Along Comes Mary/Close To You/Afternoon Delight (The Carpenters and a couple of crappy white bands)
"A fine medley of hits in this one" - JacksonDavis
