I've often wanted to put together a song compilation called 'Under The Covers'. It would include not very well known original versions of famous cover versions. When I've taught guitar I've often mentioned how a good arranger can transform a song into a completely new concept. This song is a prime example.

Way to nail it jquill! Great image/song match.

That's what I was referring to - Dylan's original is 'under' Hendrix's cover.

I'll check it out, though the attribution of the song to Hendrix is wrong. I once had over 80 versions of 'Stairway To Heaven' in every style imaginable; some were barely imaginable! The artists included the 'Fab Four' (not the Beatles, but in their early style, yeah yeah, yeah) and "The Leningrad Cowboys & Red Army Chorus' (yes, they were really Russian). Like I said, an arranger with an imagination can create some amazing or sometimes horrible renditions. Unfortunately, the hard drive with 80 Stairways To Heaven conked out, and I had no backup.

Nice shot, @savoche - you are welcome to x-post it (and any others you have) in the farm animals thread

Enjoying all the creativity here. Another great thread idea @Thagomizer

With all the Pink Floyd fans, I'm waiting for someone to illustrate lines from "Wish you were here", if only "the two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl"!

You've got a friend - Carole King

Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
