Some truly awesome cover versions

Over the years, I've amassed quite the collection of "Tribute" albums and the like, and I've always been a bigger fan of the out-of-left-field cover versions than the note-perfect carbon copies of the originals.

I think you'll agree the these tracks fall squarely into the former category.

Goldfinger's ska-tastic take on Rio
Elbow puts a distinctive low-fi stamp on Independent Woman
