NP Ren, glad you liked it!
Its awesome, Wicker, and I actually found that guy a long time ago and listened to that video back then. I also remember that his baby was very sick, a brain tumor I believe, and it was just heartbreaking. Not sure how that turned out, I hope for the best, but it just broke my heart. But yes, that Africa cover is terrific, as are all of his covers. He is enormously talented.
I love his cover of Elton John's tribute song to John Lennon, Empty Garden:
Thanks for the info, Ham and indeed, that is another great cover. Here's the one he did for his son, Noah.
Wicker, they killed this Simon & Garfunkel classic, Sound of Silence:
Its just a guitar cover with no vocals, but its absolutely amazing, this dude has some serious skills!
Its an old song some of you might not be familiar with, so I'll post the original by ZZ Top followed by the guitar cover.

Same dude (Kent Carlevi) doing a Van Halen guitar cover, Right Now, and is flawless.
This guy has mad skills!

This is an AMAZING acoustic cover of the David Bowie classic, Ashes to Ashes:
Not the best remake, but did you know that Les Claypool and Sean Lennon played together last year and somehow managed to not cause a rift in the space-time continuum?

Wow, talented young lady!
Simply, an astounding version of the Beatles' classic from Sgt. Pepper's. One of my guitar idols, Beck's performances at Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club are incredible. Check them out on YouTube if you want a treat.
Gigantic thunder drums by the late great Tony Thompson.
Johnny Cash redo of this Nine Inch Nails tune is breathtaking. Don't recall who put Cash and Reznor's song together, but it's an inspired pairing.
These women are gorgeous (especially guitarist Gretchen Menn) and can play. Dead perfect version of the Zeppelin tune. One of the few drummers who play Bonzo's timing correctly.
Cream's complete departure from the Blind Joe Reynolds' original. Such a modern (for the 60s) interpretation of Reynolds' blues. Clapton's tone still brings chills. So far ahead of it's time, as was the playing of Jack Bruce and the recently-departed Ginger Baker. Mind blowing.
In case you have not heard Reynolds' original, here it is:

An obvious one for us rock fans from the 70s, Mott covering Bowie's "All the Young Dudes". Think Bowie told Ian Hunter to record a version and he originally did not want to do it. Along with "All the Way From Memphis", it became Mott's most recognized song.
