Jennifer Warnes - Famous Blue Raincoat

I prefer it to the Leonard Cohen original.

Okay Psy-fi, get out of my head!!!!!

I actually just clicked this thread for the purpose of posting a cover for one of Nick Cave's other songs (edit: my bad... For some reason I was thinking Nick Cave originally did "hallelujah"; I guess because I don't listen to Leonard Cohen?).

Anyway, for some reason, I've been OBSESSED for months, hunting down covers for "The Ship Song." Something about this song haunts me, yet I feel as though the original isn't quite satisfying enough. I still haven't found my dream "Ship Song" cover yet, but this duet by Concrete Blonde comes closer for sure...

"The Ship Song" cover by Concrete Blonde

Edit: Ive decided to add another cover of this same song...I've never considered myself a Pearl Jam can; however, I find Eddie Vedder's version of "the ship song" quite enjoyable as well...

Braid did a great job with this cover, especially the drummer.

Despite my biased opinion towards the band. I honestly do find this cover better than the Rolling stones original.

Also in the video you will also get treated to a shot of Bob1's rare La Baye 2x4 Guitar.

The entire Ryan Adams 1989 album (a cover of Taylor Swift's album). It's my favorite album of the year, and while I don't dislike her, she's not really my kind of music. He made those songs amazing.
