Favorite cover albums?
What are your favorite cover albums?
Cover albums usually get a lot of critique if done wrong but there are some that can be are very good. My personal favorite is Jahmene Douglas - Love Never Fails. This is a good example of a cover album done right, the album is mainstream chart songs mostly with a Gospel and soul take on them with original arrangements, the closing track on the album is a cover of Next To Me which sounds like a totally different to the original. |

Maybe 'Another Time, Another Place' by Bryan Ferry? Or 'Townes' by Steve Earle. |

good question
tori amos - strange little girls [it was always expected that she would release a cover album because her covers on her live tours were exceptional...but this wasn't an ordinary covers album... quite the opposite.] |

The title makes me wince, it is so pretentious.
Maybe 'Another Time, Another Place' by Bryan Ferry? Or 'Townes' by Steve Earle. Not sure what's pretentious about Dylanesque. It seems to be an accurate description of the contents.

I quite enjoy The Overtones albums.
They certainly are very good singers and they always choose great fun classic songs. Their last Saturday Night At The Movies is the best so far, in my opinion. Also, Robbie's swing albums are great. And of course, my favorite male singer is Michael Buble, he really makes very good cover albums, and recently he has been adding more self-written songs which is a great move. |

I love Lady and Gentlemen from LeAnn Rimes.
![]() God bless you and her always!!! ![]() Holly (a day one fan of her) P.S. Her self named album is also good too! I love to hear her sing "Me And Bobby McGee", "I Fall To Piece", and "Lovesick Blues" on it.

I discounted Another Time Another Place as it includes one original track.

Probably 'I'm Your Fan'. Album of Leonard Cohen covers, released early 90's. Terrible title, but some great versions of Cohen's songs.

Also, though they've never made a covers album, Biffy Clyro's cover versions are always excellent.
