Cover Wars: March Madness – Final Four
We’ve caught up to the NCAA tourney as we’re down to the final four for our version of March Madness featuring past Cover Wars winners facing off.

Thanks to everyone who voted this week as Phish’s cover of A Day In The Life quadrupled the vote total for tDB’s Killing In The Name cover, Garcia/Grisman’s take on Sitting In Limbo won by a large margin over DMB’s Sledgehammer, Widespread Panic’s cover of Can’t Find My Way Home eeked one out against Umphrey’s Making Flippy Floppy and Mr. Blotto’s 50 Ways Cinderella story continues with a big win over the Dead’s Not Fade Away.
Today, we’ve got two semi-final matchups for you to vote on:
A Day In The Life – Phish vs. Sitting In Limbo – Garcia/Grisman
Can’t Find My Way Home – WSP vs. 50 Ways – Mr. Blotto
READ ON to listen to, read about and vote on the Final Four…
A Day In The Life – Phish vs. Sitting In Limbo – Garcia/Grisman
The Skinny: Phish channels The Beatles for a song that Paul McCartney didn’t even have the balls to cover until recently. Jerry Garcia has always loved to sing Jimmy Cliff’s Sittin’ In Limbo and brought the song to his project with David Grisman, where the two greats teamed up for this beautiful cover.
Can’t Find My Way Home – WSP vs. 50 Ways – Mr. Blotto
The Skinny: John Bell goes falsetto to tackle Winwood’s vocals on the Blind Faith masterpiece Can’t Find My Way Home, which he sang on last Monday night with the Allman Brothers Band. Mr. Blotto works a rap about Bill Clinton’s impeachment into their impressive Paul Simon cover.
Now, we’re not going to give guidance on how you should judge each entry. Vote for whatever cover you want for whatever reason you want. The polls close at 11:59PM EDT on Wednesday night and we’ll be back with the Final Four on Monday. If you feel like sharing your choices, let us know which covers you picked by leaving a comment below…
