Let's see what we can come up with. Post a youtube video showing your favorite version(s) of a song that is covered by a favorite artist of yours.

For my money, and you know I am a a huge Bonamassa fan, but give me Otis Rush doing Gamblers Blues over Blues Deluxe anyday.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kn_Se7oqVSw

Gamblers Blues by BB King is the song that Blues Deluxe as performed by Jeff Beck band and Bonamssa was based on

Robert Randolph and the Family band cover the King (of Pop):

Nice topic BCB. I had thought of one like this a few weeks ago but it slipped my mind. I love quality covers and re-inventions of classic tunes. And btw...Bonamassa is my favorite guitarist hands down, and is amongst the few musicians we have around now that will go down in history as a legend.

I loved Duane, Greg, et al, but these boys did a right fine cover of one of the Allman Brothers' signature tunes......
