Nothing to see here, I was wrong. See below.

I don't know know if yours is the same version I have, but The Gourds have an infamous bluegrass version of Gin and Juice that seems to be attributed to all kinds of famous bands. According to Wikipedia:

During the heyday of Napster, the Gourds cover of Snoop Dogg's "Gin and Juice" was incorrectly labeled as being by the band Phish featuring Les Claypool of Primus. This mislabeling is understandable, seeing as how the vocals sound a great deal like Claypool, as well as the fact that Claypool and Anastasio have been known to collaborate. This led to this track becoming quite popular with Phish fans, who didn't realize the mistake. This track has also been mislabeled as being by Barenaked Ladies, Blues Traveler, Dave Matthews Band, The String Cheese Incident, Widespread Panic, Ween, O.A.R. and many other bands in the "jam band" genre.

It's on their album Shinebox.

The Decemberists covering Morrissey's "Everyday Is Like Sunday". Ahhhh! I just emo-ed all over myself!

It's great though. Hee.

Tom Jones does some great covers. Especially his version of "Hold On I'm Coming."

Also, Etta James does a killer version of the Stones "Miss You." She takes all the disco out of it and makes it some raw-ass dirty blues.

And Warren Zevon's cover of "Raspberry Beret" is pretty killer too.

Tom Jones does some great covers.

But he deserves to be shot for his massacre of Prince's "Kiss."

As long as we use the Prince version, it's on baby!

The White Stripes' version of Jolene is brilliant. He sounds so sincere and desperate, and I loves the HoYay!

Marilyn Manson's Tainted Love just matches the lyrics with the music perfectly. Angry and intense.

Eva Cassidy can do no wrong in covering songs, but I prefer Matchbox 20's Time After Time to hers.

Word. I also like his covers of Personal Jesus and Sweet Dreams. He does great covers.
