Comment:

This is the first of many collection of my favorite covers. Most of these are some that I have loved for a while with some new gems that I have discovered. I tried to make a mix without using Buckley's cover of Cohen's "Hallelujah," which is arguably one of the best covers ever. Instead I chose, Buckley's rendition of Simone's "Lilac Wine."
