Another big Aussie hit in 1969. Apologies for my Aussie parochialism but here, in my opinion, this is a better version of Dear Prudence than The Beatles'. This is by Doug Parkinson in Focus. I have no doubt you'll disagree with my sentiments. Doug Parkinson's vocals are superb and much more ballsy and emotional than Lennon's (....ducking for cover!).

Sting and Robert Downey Jr - Driven to Tears Thumbs UpClap Downey Jr. sings most of it, thus qualifies as covering a song, I think.  Big smile

Three epic blues covers!
 
Alvin Lee's version of Sonny Boy Williamson is monumental:
 
 
Eric Clapton and Duane Allman's towering take of Big Bill Broonzy:
 
 
Peter Green and Fleetwood Mac show their reverence for Elmore James (and don't even need amps or mics!):
