Better than the Original

[CellarDweller]

How about when an artist covers their own songs?

These may both be 'new' to you, but give them a listen, and let me know what you think.

Nena was a one-hit wonder in the US with 99 Luftballons/99 Red Balloons. In Europe the group had other hits. This single, "Irgendwie, irgendwo, irgendwann" (English is Anyplace, Anywhere, Anytime) , was off their third CD in Europe in 1985.




In 2002 Nena's lead singer (then also going as Nena) celebrated her 20th anniversary in the music business by releasing a CD full of covers of her prior group's material.

This is the version of "Anyplace, Anywhere, Anytime" that was on the 2002 CD, now a German/English duet with Kim Wilde, who topped the American charts with "You Keep Me Hanging On".

Have you heard of Andrew Machum? Don't worry if you haven't, you will.
Just hear what he did with an Elton John song before you search for his other tunes on youtube.

There's a ton of different covers for the Rolling Stone's 'Gimme Shelter' I've picked the Stereophonics cover for obvious reasons - go Kelly!

^^^^^^^^^^^^ I LOVE IT.... But..... They needed someone phenomenal to do the backup vocals... and he sure didn't even attempt to imitate Keith Richard's guitar work... or the harmonica...

(I'm a stinker about classic rock with outstanding vocals and guitar work)

I have some stones covers that will b*l*o*w y*o*u*r m*i*n*d...
even an a capella sympathy for the devil... with the famous guitar solo done vocal.
