Here's a little preview of a chart I have in mind for Week 2 that'll be useful for getting the shiny new E minor chord into our fingers.
Most of you have probably heard the original Wilco version of this tune, but here's an alternative take from one of my favorite local bands, JC Brooks and the Uptown Sound.
For me personally, when musicians choose to perform a tune that someone made else famous (also known as "covering"), I want the cover version to either be extremely faithful to the original, or else put a completely different spin on it altogether. This is an example of the latter.
(Catch these guys next time they're in town if you can! They really bring it to their live show.)
How about you? What are some of your favorite cover songs?
