Not your usual cover of Johnny B Goode

That was fun and interesting, I detected a slight accent in the singers voice. It sounds like an Eastern European but not sure, any info on the group?

On YouTube, the title of the group is "Dmitry Rotkin Acoustic Rush". Dmitry sounds Russian to me. A quick search says he's Ukrainian. The "About" tab on their YouTube channel lists the other members james.

Good stuff up there^^^. I like this version of Warren Zevons "Poor Poor Pitiful Me" that Jackson Browne does. Skip to .27 seconds for the music if Brownes into bores you. Guitarist Waddi Wachtel also played with Linda Rondstat when she covered this.

Meh, that cover doesn't do it for me but I'm glad you also posted the original. Fitting while I chew my finger nails down to the cuticle!

Glen Campbell’s version was pretty good, but I like this one better:

Hootie & The Blowfish covering Led Zeppelin, Hey Hey What Can I Do...

I raise you STP's Interstate Love Song

 

[snwbrdr]

From Kiss' "Kiss my Ass" album... a very controversial cover that Gene Simmons likes...

Toad the Wet Sprocket doing Rock and Roll All Nite

The Doobie Brothers and Peter Frampton have partnered for a cover of Eric Clapton’s 1970 track, “Let It Rain.”

I'm a heart fan. Don't usually find anyone doing a cover, much less doing one so well. This duo is growing on me even more.



Here's the original for reference
