Covers for Sunday

When I Fall In Love by Miles Davis (originally by Doris Day) from Steamin' with The Miles Davis Quintet. The Miles Davis Quintet is:
Miles Davis – Trumpet
John Coltrane – Tenor saxophone
Red Garland – Piano
Paul Chambers – Bass
Philly Joe Jones – drums
so that's a pretty good place to start if you want to buy some Miles Davis, or even if you don't.

I Walk On Gilded Splinters by Paul Weller (originally by Dr John). I've heard this track, which has Noel Gallagher on acoustic guitar, come under some pretty heavy criticism compared to Dr John's original. I, obviously, think it's pretty good and really, if you expect Paul Weller to sound like Dr John that's hardly his fault.

Orion by Rodrigo Y Gabriela (originally by Metallica). I'm not a fan of Metallica, I have no idea how much this sounds like the original, I just know that it sounds really good.

Wish You Were Here by Sparklehorse feat Thom Yorke (originally by Pink Floyd) This is such an iconic song, it must be almost impossible to cover but this is a pretty good version.

No Ordinary Love by Deftones (originally by Sade) The Deftones do trip-hop.

Brandy by Red Hot Chili Peppers (originally by Looking Glass). From the Live in Hyde park album, before they disappeared under the weight of Stadium Arcadium. Nearly four and a half years since that was released now, new album due next year.

Finally, a video of Ace of Base's The Sign as covered by The Mountain Goats
