Favorite Covers of 2011
I have found it extremely enjoyable over the years to hear how other music artists interpret songs that they appreciate by other artists. You can sometimes find that the song will not change too much besides the new vocals driving it. Other times you can hear the original song but with a new style of play to it. Or you may even fortunate enough to find that the song has been completely reinvented into something new and compelling. This is just a short list of my favorite covers of this year.
