Comment:

Each of these covers offers a vocal or instrumental arrangement decidedly unique from the original. They're not necessarily better than the originals, but none are cheap rehashes. The original artists are in parentheses. This mix was inspired by Hemizen's cover mix.

A smart selection. I do like to hear musicians put old wine in new bottles & though I don't know most of these covers they're all tunes I'd like to hear reincarnated . . .
