Why? It was perfect the first time. That being said, How can you not like Johnny Cash's Personal Jesus.

Normally I'm all for Bill's selection of covers, but this is just WEIRD.

This version should not have been recorded.

If I had never heard the original, I may have given this a 6.
But this will go down as a failed cover song.

I've been trying to get Texas Lightning to do a US tour.  They broke up for a while and I think they're back together again.  It would be a fun show.  danagle wrote:

This makes me think of the band Luther Wright and the Wrongs, and their cover of the entire album The Wall by Pink Floyd. The whole thing was done in a bluegrass style; it was quite surreal. I highly recommend checking it out!

Someone needs to upload the A Mighty Wind cover of Start Me Up!

Apparently, a lot of people disagree with me. but I think that this is one of the best covers I have ever heard.  The old school country beat and instruments are an amazing compliment to this song.  Clean and well crafted.  Great stuff!

In some bizarrre way this reminds me of Busload of Nuns  covering the Bee-Gees "Stayin' Alive".... Not like theoriginal,but surreal.

Kristy Kruger does a great alt country version of 'never let me down again' that would fit right in with this and Johnny Cash's rendition of 'personal Jesus' - it'd be quite a set. Must upload Ms Kruger....

I like it, in some ways more than the original. Like English Beat doing Tears of a Clown... both versions make me happy.

if you like depeche mode............i can recommend a great album by pat mAcdonald called PM does DM.  He puts a great dark blusey twist on some of DP's greatest songs.

Or a complete cover of PF's The Wall, by Luther Wright and the Wrongs as a bluegrass album.

This album is way better than it has any right to be. Check it out, if you dare!

Agreed - to wit, Eliza Gilkyson's cover of World Party.

Hehehe! Great lead-in introduction, Bill. I had no idea what to expect...

Depeche Mode with upright bass. Who woulda thunk it? 7 points for effort and interpretation.
