If any of you are into acoustic sessions / chill out stuff - there is a band called Boyce Avenue who do mainly covers of more modern stuff- must be on about their 4th / 5th Album now, but a lot of there songs sound on par if not better than the originals in my opinion. A lot of stuff is on Youtube with them.

Ye they're pretty good with their covers, rarely do a bad job.

Love this version....'Ghost in my house' as well.
May have already appeared on here, but 'Hey Jude' - Wilson Pickett (Duane Allman - guitar) deserves a mention.

Actually, I'm not sure this is "better" than the original..........but it's dead good nevertheless!!
