Now, an even less well known player that has some fans among other guitarists is a guy whose stage name is Unknown Hinson. You can find multiple videos of him on You Tube. He is very funny and when he wants to he can shred it.

(05-03-2016, 02:36 PM)michaelsean Wrote: I like Dylan's better than Clapton's or GnR, and GnR's Live and Let Die is awful.

For me the best cover that took an awful song and made it great was Manfred Mann doing Blinded by the Light.

The worst. Some chick (Sheryl Crow?) covered Cum on Feel the Noise which brought awfulness to a new level. I think Quiet Riot covered from someone.

Van Halen's Pretty Woman is great.

I think Dazed and Confused was a Yardbird song, but if it is I've never heard it to compare.

Metallica's Turn the Page is pretty close to bad.

Another cover I love better than the original is David Allan Coe's version of Ruby.

(05-03-2016, 03:08 PM)BengalHawk62 Wrote: Its actually a Steve Young song.  He also originally wrote, and the Eagles covered "Seven Bridges Road".  One of my all time favorite songs.





I don't know if I've heard DAC's Ruby before.........

(05-03-2016, 07:19 PM)Wyche Wrote: Yeah, I knew Young wrote the song, but Waylon was the first to release it.  In that regard, the entire Honky Tonk Heroes album would be a cover of Billy Joe Shaver.  I had no idea that Steve wrote "Seven Bridges Road"....that is a great song.

Yeah, DAC's version is stripped down and haunting.  He also does a great job on "(Tell Me Baby) Why You Been Gone So Long".

Bill Kirchen, a true master of the electric guitar and the truck drivin' and Honky Tonk songs. If you've never heard Bill do Hot Rod Lincoln and you are a guitar fan prepare to have your mind blown - yeah that is him playing every lick in the bridge. From the 1950's to the modern era he gives a shout out and plays the hottest guitar licks of numerous players. A true treat for electric guitar fans. It is like hearing mini-covers of multiple songs and just a really fun number.
