Richie Havens on the radio this morning, playing "Here Comes The Sun", got me thinking about Beatles covers. Jazz covers almost never work for some reason, and Sinatra couldn't make a Beatles song work, but there are some good covers out there. Besides Havens, for example, I like Fanny's "Hey Bulldog", and the version of "Tomorrow Never Knows" on 801 Live. Steve Earle's "I'm Looking Through You" is mighty nice.
