Y’all ever watched Prince put everyone on the stage to shame during a tribute to George Harrison? While My Guitar Gently Weeps should have been called Watching the Other Guitarists Gently Weep…

And finally, the moment when Tracy Chapman gets her flowers from Luke Combs and the rest of the country STILL gives me the chills. Not REALLY a cover but you’ll forgive me the stretch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pLfH9HSUyf4&pp=ygUadHJhY3kgY2hhcG1hbiBncmFtbXlzIDIwMjQ%3D

I’m sure I’ve forgotten plenty, so everyone help me remember what. Or add something new! Music is one of the things getting me through some of the harshness of now, so I hope y’all enjoy the playlist.

Here’s an entry from my lifetime partner in crime, aka my husband… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9Dg-g7t2l4&pp=ygUac291bmQgb2Ygc2lsZW5jZSBkaXN0dXJiZWQ%3D

That's a pretty good list. Have to admit I couldn't really enjoy Miley Cyrus singing "Nothing compares" though. Sinead was just too good.

Yeah, I had high hopes for this, but it was disappointing IMO. I suspect some of it was studio sound issues, but yeah, Sinead (and Chris Cornell's later cover) gave them big shoes to fill

Brittany Howard was excellent. Just couldn't enjoy Miley. I need to look up that Chris Cornell cover......

Non of the the recordings are great, but this tribute to Chris Cornell is a favorite of mine https://youtu.be/GpaDYarI-PQ?si=ed5au8O6Gmhs-NEN

It was a great performance. I love the story he told of how he heard his Dad playing that song when he was a kid. I could watch this over and over. Tracy is so humble and a beautiful story teller in song
