It's rare that I ever come across a cover that I particularly like, mainly beacuse I'm too attached to the original sound of a song, but once in a while, I get lucky enough to stumble across a cover that completely blows my mind away. These next two covers are probably the most breath-taking covers I've ever encountered.
This cover of Elliott Smith's song 'Between the Bars' is as good as the original, and when you're up there with Elliott Smith, you know you're doing something right. Their voices are raspy, raw and real (unintentional alliteration). Especially when Holly Miranda sings. Holy fuck. That is a voice that means serious business.
This next cover is by two sisters from Sweden called First Aid Kit, and they covered Fleet Foxes' 'Tiger Mountain Peasant Song,' and I speak for the public when I say that this cover ALMOST blows the original out of the water. Both of them have a spine-chilling voice that echos throughout the song. And do I even need to mention the harmonizing? It's like Simon and Garfunkel all over again.
