Kicking it off with Say Lou Lou’s breathy cover of the Bee Gees–don’t throw disco out, there’s good tunes in there! I love what she does with this song–she keeps the disco beat, but gives it a more modern sound…

Traveler has an entire album of covers out. Check out their take on Foo Fighters…
And finally, doing a great Prince cover is hard—‘cause the Purple One always made his songs perfect—but this one is damn fine. I guess it helps to pick a tune most people aren’t as familiar with…
