Suggestions for an acoustic cover or two?

[tiedye]

Need some more suggestions to fill empty time. We're going more for covers that you wouldn't normally expect, though the Ben Harper one is pretty popular.

On the list we have:
Bob Marley -- No Woman No Cry
Ben Harper -- Burn One Down
Tom Waits -- Tango Till They're Sore

Those are the ones that my friend and I are going to play. I'm going to be doing a couple of old blues jams solo. "Death Letter" by Son House and "Jumper Hanging on the Line" by RL Burnside, I'm thinking.

Rule is no Bob Marley unless you are playing at a campfire or at some kind of liberal arts college fundraiser/protest.

How about some Leonard Cohen?

My friend and I did an accoustic guitar / bongo version of "Tower of Song"
Very enjoyable.

It's a charity food drive, does that work?

Cohen is a great idea. I'm sure there will be a few covers of Jeff Buckley's rendition of 'Hallelujah' so it'd be nice to add some of his better work into the mix.

I swear Hallelujah is his most overrated song.

Not that I dislike it, but for the attention it receives he has a lot of other great songs.

Country version of "Son of a Bitch to the Core" off the _Tribute to Hard Core Logo_ soundtrack.

There, I got my pet request in.

I think it only really got that kind of attention because of Buckley, and even then, only after his death.

I've decided for my solo set that I'm going to do 'Death Letter' by Son House and go right into 'Little Bird' by the White Stripes. Still deciding what my third song should be. I'm thinking 'Hard Time Killing Floor Blues' by Chris Thomas King.

Life During Wartime - Talking Heads
