So many Johnny Cash covers to choose from but I’m going with this

The Cream’s live (1968) cover of Robert Johnson’s ‘Crossroads’.

I can’t split China Drum Wuthering Heights and this…

This is easily in the top 5 of all covers.

Hope it’s not a repost but this is what I chucked in the mix when the subject was raised at the office the other day.

This is easily in the top 5 of all covers.

was the highlight of one of the rock against racism gigs i went to… stiff little finger with tom robinson band  and the clash playing Johnny Was.

…

In case anybody thinks what Roger Waters is doing to this song is a good idea.

And we’re used to Fairport and All About Eve doing this, but then…

Cover played by Wille Nelson and Shania Twain:

I just found this.  Fabulous soul version of dazed and confused.l

Anything by Hayley Reinhart gives me the tingles.

The history of the 007 theme tune is quite interesting. It was originally written for a musical called The House of Mr Biswas, set in Trinidad and sung by an Indian character – it has lyrics

And what is worse I came into the world the wrong way round
Pundits all agree I am the reason why
My father fell into the village pond and drowned

Yes yes I know but roll with me here, this is quality.

Jonny cash hurt is a classic. Loads of great covers done a bit differently by scary pockets. Some real talented musicians in their line up. Also see pomplamoose. The guy on the keyboards, Jack Conte is a talent, he invented Patreon.

I never knew there had been a musical of the book (novel be V S Naipaul). Intiguing,

NB the actual title is “A House for Mr. Biswas”

I have come to the conclusion I prefer the Easy Star All Stars’ version of Paranoid Android:
