> [@EinsteinsHund](#): > > Another one I’m listening to right now, where the interpreter has totally immersed himself into the spirit of the original artist, is Stevie Ray Vaughan’s i[nstrumental cover of Jimi’s Little Wing.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=An4uDegHB8s) Breathtaking. Stevie totally understood what Jimi was after and expanded on that. My favorite is Voodoo Child Another one I love is the Alison Knauss cover of Keith Whitley’s When You Say Nothing at All [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/1SCOimBo5tg/maxresdefault.jpg "Alison Krauss - When You Say Nothing At All (Official Video)") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1SCOimBo5tg) ---

[Herman Brood’s My Way](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ej2S-ANeuww&t=1s). This is the only rendition of this song I’ve ever heard where the singer sounds authentic. The video is a nice tribute to him as well. ---

I’ve always been fond of Clem Snide’s cover of [Tears On My Pillow](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43DhEzYnATQ). I also offer Save Ferris and their version of [Come On Eileen](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzfCFFCSnLE&pbjreload=10). Used to have a nice video as well, but I canna seem to find it at this late hour. ---
