I've finally figured out what bothers me so much about covers. Originality. When an musician takes another musician's song and essentially re-records it with a different voice, it becomes a serious pet peeve. However, when the musican is able to transform into something original and new, I don't have a problem. (Unless this is Britney Spears covering "Eleanor Rigby". Then it's time to bring out the machine guns.) I discovered this listening to snippets of the "I Am Sam" soundtrack in Barnes & Noble last night -- the songs annoyed me, because they were exactly identical to the versions recorded by the Beatles, except sung by a different voice. Bah.

Anyway, got "Driving Rain". Yay! ::hugs Paul::
