I prefer Neil Young's version of "Four Strong Winds" to the original.

Also, I prefer UB40's versions of "Kingston Town", "Red, Red Wine" and "Impossible Love" to the originals.

Standard procedure for companies. Go do some homework on the comparison sites, you'll be fine.

Hi

Which comparison sites do road fund licenses then?

Wow Martin @port perran , that's good and the band swings! Patricia Barber does a cool sultry jazzy cover of The Doors' "Light my Fire"...

I agree regarding Santana Tim, I believe it to be superior to the original.
I've never heard the Patricia Barber version before but I'm quite taken by it.
This is a jazz version by Janice Hagan that I rather like :

I once gave a CD copy of the Hollies sing Dylan to an avid Dylan fan, don't think he's ever got over it

For me it has to be Santana's "BMW", again I heard this before the Fleetwood Mac (Peter Green) original. Looking on the net there are many many covers of it and I do have this rather fine cover by Patricia Barber on her live CD "Companion"...

Sonically and recording wise it is an exceptional live CD from 1999. The guitarist though is not Santana.

Cheers,

Tim

PS Martin @port perran , I struggle with anything Bob Dylan unless Hendrix has a bash at it!

I'm with Tim @Moonglum on this.
I rather prefer Frijid Pink's version of House of the Rising Sun.
There are also plenty of cover versions of other songs that I prefer, including pretty much all cover versions of Dylan songs.
The Hollies Sing Dylan album is an excellent example of this.
I've just got in from a long day returning to our old cottage in Cornwall but I'll try to post some examples of great cover versions over the next few days.
As a starter for 10, which is the best version of Black Magic Woman written by Peter Green?

Cheers
Martin

I've got one of those, Mum gave me it years ago.

I never told her, but it doesn't work
