This is a cover of Early Morning Rain by Gordon Lightfoot. It’s a great cover, but I have to admit I like listening to it mostly because hearing a song written by a Canadian and covered mostly by people from the US, sung by a guy with a strong Northern English (Leeds?) accent is hilarious.

I almost always add Al Green’s cover of The Bee Gee’s How Can You Mend a Broken Heart in ‘good cover’ threads but in keeping with the more indie vibe of this thread, here’s a folkie cover of Abba’s Dancing Queen.

Excellent @Biggirl And it makes me wonder what the Abba cover of folk would be like. Or Abba doing a cheerful version of Vincent - Don Maclean. Anyway, this is the version of Angel of the Morning where she’s a naive teenager instead of an adult who’s been around the block a few times: [Billie Davis - Angel Of The Morning (1968) - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EecLs1C_UlU) And for contrast, this is the _only_ interesting cover version of “Sadder but Wiser Girl” I _ever_ found – terrible production, but at least he doesn’t seem to be trying to re-create the original. Peoples, I’m still looking for a punk cover, you’d think it would be a natural. [The Sadder, But Wiser Girl - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gjlrw8s6COY) ---
