Johnny Cash - I’ve Been Everywhere (Hank Snow cover)

Seems appropriate for a travelling day.  Did you know that this song was originally written by Geoff Mack, and featured Australian cities? 

Mark Lanegan - Little Sadie (traditional)

This was the first song that came to my mind when Whitney proposed Murder Ballad Sunday on Halloween, but I never got around to posting it, so it’s doing double duty for cover friday.

Phosphorescent - Across the Universe (Beatles cover)

Still riding the high of last night’s Phosphorescent show. 

(from Mojo Magazine’s Let it Be Revisited)

Arctic Monkeys - Baby I’m Yours

Cover of an old 60s song and B-side to Leave Before The Lights Come On. 

Phosphorescent - Big Red Sun Blues (Lucinda Williams cover)

A distinctively Phosphorescent take on the original.

James Mercer - Journey Through The Past (Neil Young cover)

Another Neil Young cover for Fred on his birthday. This is from the excellent soundtrack to 180° SOUTH.

Rodrigo y Gabriela - One (Metallica cover)

Listening to Live in Japan makes me wish we were going to see them tonight at Marymoor.

Dizzee Rascal - That’s not my name (Ting Tings cover)

Whenever I hear this song it gets stuck in my head for days. I don’t feel quite as guilty when it’s this version though.

Old 97s - Driver 8 (R.E.M. cover)

One of my favorite R.E.M. songs, covered pretty straight-up, but it’s the Old 97s, so it works for me!
