Cover Me Impressed

@rdubbs

Cover Me Impressed is a virtual Paradiso for lovers of reprocessed tunage, a.k.a. “cover songs”. Each post pertains to a particular song and, whenever possible, includes three to four links to enjoy different versions of the tune. The first link will be for the original version of the song. If applicable a second link will be provided for the most popular version of the song (this would apply when a cover of the song turned out to be more popular than the original). And finally links to two covers of the song will be included. Readers can vote on the better of the two covers. Readers will also be encouraged to comment on their choice and any other musical topic of interest they care to offer.
