Good cover songs

Two of my favorite covers are both of JJ Cale songs

Call Me the Breeze by Skynyrd  They made this song their own.  Incredible piano break by Billy Powell, great horns, and that blistering solo by Gary Rossington.  Everything is perfect, including all the coolo countrified electric guitar fills.

Bringing it Back by Kansas.  A wonderful story song, played powerfully.  The fiddle really makes this track but everyone plays very well.

Honorable mention goes to Tulsa Time at the ARMS show.  I love it when Page blows Beck and Clapton off the stage with his over the top distorted solo.  Jimmy is so into it.  I love the look that Clapton gives to Beck after Jimmy's visceral assault.   Clapton and Beck were trying to play like respectable grown ups and Page played like a young kid with something to prove.  It is an incredible moment.
