Cover This

I heard Blue Oyster Cult's "(Don't Fear) The Reaper" the other day while watching a show on the Discovery Channel called History Rocks. Today, I have a impressive rendition done by Brothers Past in 2001.

Take Me to the River

Originally written by Al Green and Hi Records house guitarist Mabon Hodges in 1973. The track first appeared on Al Green Explores Your Mind (The Right Stuff). However, my personal favorite version of "Take Me to the River" was done in 1978 by the Talking Heads. "Take Me to the River" also became a top 40 hit for Talking Heads.

I Shot The Sheriff

I was recently listening to an Eric Clapton performance from a couple of years ago. I popped the CD because well our beloved Green Bay Packers were getting destroyed by the Jets and for a moment I didn't want to see Brett Favre look like crap (I'm a diehard Cowboys fan). I came across his performance of 'I Shot The Sheriff' and wanted to compare that to some others. Of course, at the end it came out to Eric Clapton vs. Bob Marley with me still undecided if I liked Marley's original or Clapton's cover.

A little more information from Wikipedia:

"I Shot The Sheriff" is a song written by Bob Marley. It is a song about justice, innocence and defiance, first released on Marley's 1973 album, Burnin'.
