Surprising Cover

[qos]

Rough-voiced folk singer Richard Thompson covers "Oops I Did It Again" and makes it his own.

And my favorite of his pieces: "Vincent Black Lightning"

I see I have shared the addiction. *g*

Have you tried "Beeswing"? It's one of his older songs (from the late 60s or early 70s) but it wears well. It's a switcheroo on the usual girl-falls-for-bad-boy; instead, the singer falls for a wild, untameable girl who loves him and leaves him because she can't handle being owned or settling down. It also has an incredibly beautiful melody line.
