There's an unlikely but brilliant version of Billie Jean at the end of the civil wars album that's seriously good!

They are two I'd love to hear on vinyl....

As soon as I have my audio room back (pesky babies!!) a TT is top of my shopping list!

the Billie Jean version neatly deals with my two either/or criteria for if I like a cover version..

must be-

completely different to original
or
better than the original (subjectively)

other qualifiers?

Sweet Jane: Cowboy Junkies
Hurt: Johnny Cash

make sure you get the international release with the extra tracks, they're excellent especially the billie jean cover....

check out the free live album on their website... a lot of the same songs....
