Enriched cover songs by different bands

Posted in by admin on January 28th, 2012

Sometimes the cover versions of the songs are better than the originals. If you have a iTunes library, you can hear some of the cover songs and original songs and compare them both, you will know which one is better. You can compare the multiple versions of the same song and can find out easily which one is better. There is no wonder in the fact the cover songs are better.

The cover songs are the songs that are sung by another musician. This is like remake of an old film. Naturally the new one will make use of new technology and would be better than the older version. This is true in the case of the cover songs too. All Along the Watchtower was sung by both Bob Dylan and Jimi Hendrix. The original version was by Dylan. Though it is great, the version of Hendrix is the favorite of many people. The guitar solo of Hendrix is really mind melting that has gained it much importance.

Sometimes the cover songs get great popularity among people that people start to believe that they are the original composers. People forget the original version and start to adore the cover version of the songs. Hallelujah was a song sung by Leonard Cohen, Jeff Buckley, John Cale and Rufus Wainright. There is great possibility for one original version to have more than one cover version. Many people could not judge which one is the best because each one of them shows the mastery of the singer. This song was originally written by Leonard Cohen but he did not perform it well. But for his version all the other cover versions are superior. The one by Rufus Wainwright was smooth and beautiful and so this was hailed by public. Some like that of Buckley because of the mellow guitar.
