Keller Williams won last week’s Cover Wars, where we looked at covers of Don’t You (Forget About Me). Ha Ha The Moose was a close second.

Moving on to this week, we look at a song The Beatles recorded during the Let It Be sessions, but didn’t make the album. Don’t Let Me Down was featured as the b-side of the single Get Back. I keep coming back to The Beatles because so many great artists have covered their tunes. Instead of copying and pasting a lot of fun facts and quotes about the song, I recommend just checking out the entry over at The Beatles Bible. For me, it’s all about the measure of 5/4 to start every verse.

30db (Brendan Bayliss & Jeff Austin): This duo has performed together six times including two recent shows in the past couple of days. Word has it that during Sunday night’s show, the two said they had recorded an album and it will be released this fall. They also supposedly said from the stage that they were playing Bonnaroo.

Annie Lennox: This track comes strangely enough off of a CD single, do they still make those? I am also a big fan of Annie’s version of Don’t Let It Bring You Down that is featured in American Beauty. Source: Coldest

The Black Crowes: Sometimes a cover and a voice just line up perfectly, this is one of those cases. When I was researching this week’s edition and saw The Crowes had played it, I was not surprised and knew exactly what it was going to sound like with Chris Robinson belting it out.

Dillard & Clark: This folk duo formed when Gene Clark left The Kinks in 1968. This album was released in 1969, the same year that Don’t Let Me Down was originally recorded. Source: Through the Morning, Through the Night

Jackie Greene: It’s worth nothing that both Chris Robinson and Jackie Greene have also sang this song with Phil Lesh & Friends in addition to the versions featured here. On a slightly unrelated note, I didn’t see Greene’s 2008 release Giving Up the Ghost on any end of the year top album lists, and it really should have been. Source: 9-13-2008

Matchbox Twenty: This video is of unknown origin. While you wouldn’t normally catch me listening to Matchbox Twenty, I gotta say – they do a pretty good job.

Robert Walter’s 20th Congress: RW20C contributes this week’s instrumental rendition to the mix. Also check out this show for a sit-in from Joe Russo on drums. Source: 5-1-2004

Stereophonics: I love the soundtrack to I Am Sam. In addition to this track, you have to hear Rufus Wainwright do Across The Universe and Ben Harper’s Strawberry Fields Forever. There’s a bunch more, roughly half the album is really solid. Source: I Am Sam

Live at Glastonbury:

Also check out their live version with Ronnie Wood

Van Ghost: Van Ghost is a new band out of Chicago fronted by Michael Berg. Jennifer Hartswick also sings with the group. They’ve got a lot of great tunes written and their first album coming out later this year. Source: 6-8-2008

Zwan: When the Smashing Pumpkins disbanded around the turn of the century, Billy Corgan formed Zwan with members of Tortoise and three other bands.
