Always lovely to receive and read these! Pulling from my little playlist of covers, I adore Waxahatchee's cover of Lucinda Williams's "Fruits of My Labor," Soccer Mommy's cover of Bruce Springsteen's "I'm On Fire," and Prince's rendition of "A Case of You."
One of your best efforts, Charley. I love how alert and sensitive and thoughtful you are about the world around us —especially what it is that you notice—and about the possibilities of a life wide open to the fullness of human experience. This time you gave your readers the added bonus of links to a new playlist and a new (to me) podcast.
I love Diana Krall's version of "A Case of You" and Prince and Rosie Gaines's version of "Nothing Compares 2 U"

Bravo. And gracias.
Hard to keep my response brief. Here's five:
-Ry Cooder's version of Elvis' "Little Sister";
-Geraint Watkins doing "Heroes and Villains," the Beach Boy's tune;
-Robbie Fulks' version of Bill Anderson's "Cocktails (Tore Up My Family)";
-Linda Ronstadt doing the Everly Bros' "When Will I Be Loved";
-Sharon Jones and the Daptones' cover of Woody Guthrie's "This Land Was Made for You and Me."
