![]() This is just a perfect version of this classic Jimmy Cliff tune from the equally classic film “The Harder They Come.”Ĥ. ![]() “Sitting Here in Limbo” by Jerry Garcia & Dave Grisman / Jerry and Dave played so nicely together I wish there was more of this stuff. “Mother and Child Reunion” by The Uniques / One of the best reggae covers of a 1960s US or UK pop song, done in the fast and rocking style of 1972, just before reggae music slowed down and pursued more serious themes for a few years.ģ. How many times have you heard these drums? Idris Muhammad (f/k/a Leo Morris, who at age 15 played drums on Fats Domino’s version of “Blueberry Hill”) laid down this beat in 1967 on this track.Ģ. “Ode to Billie Joe” by Lou Donaldson / This is my favorite version of this great tune. Has there ever been a greater assemblage of musical talent? Is it therefore presumptuous for a group of indie rockers to team up and cover them? I don’t really know, but I like both the cover and the original quite a bit.ġ. George Harrison, Jeff Lynne, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty and Bob Dylan wrote it casually while hanging out (as they do.) and it was such a clear hit that they decided to form a band. “Handle with Care” by Jenny Lewis and the Watson Twins / I believe that this song is the reason the Traveling Willburys became the Traveling Wilburys. “Tennessee Waltz” by Sam Cooke / This song was written in the 40s and has been covered by everyone from Leonard Cohen to James Brown. Megan Smith’s version just makes me wish Kim Deal had a little more vocals on the original, but I do deep love the original.ĩ.

Will Oldham doing R Kelly is the greatest thing in the world.Ĥ. “The World’s Greatest” by Will Oldham / I think the title is apropos. “Mahna Mahna” by Cake / The original Muppet version is great, and I cannot believe how much fun Cake is having with this song.ģ. “Where Eagles Dare” by Pajo / I like how this song has “I ain’t no god damn son of a bitch-you better think about it baby” as the chorus line and still sounds like a sweet love song.Ģ.
