And he's got an amazingly soulful voice. I'm in love with his voice almost as much as his guitar work.

Y'all know there is a difference between covers and standards.  If they are really changing it, it's a standard, a cover is note for note copy - like a tribute band would play.

Well then... I can't pick between two of my favs.

Bauhaus - Third Uncle (Original by Brian Eno)




Or... Faith and the Muse - Willow's Song (Original by Paul Giovanni, in the 1973 version of The Wicker Man)

Gov't Mule is dirty Georgia hippie music .  I saw them a few times when I lived there.

Here is another one I thought of, I don't know if it qualifies as a real cover or not.

This is just a young kid on guitar playing an old indonesian keroncong song. He's not the world's greatest guitarist technically but somehow he makes it very beautiful.
