    Don't know if this is all that different from the original but it's a great version.

    Hurt is very good, I prefer the B side, Cash's cover of Personal Jesus. Then there's this.

    Great song is Whiskey in the Jar. During the 80's along with some other Country fans I helped run a voluntary Country Club
    in Doncaster. I used to do the weekly diary on Radio Hallam announcing which acts were on at the various Clubs in an around South Yorkshire. My Club managed to get a grant from the Arts Council so we could bring in some US artists who were over in the UK touring and my contacts at Hallam came in useful in booking those acts. They didn't mind doing that because I wouldn't take any money from them for my input.

    We brought Jim Glazer and his brother Tompall in for one show and a band from a Florida called Tom Gribben and the Saltwater Cowboys who were appearing at the Wembley Festival of Country Music.
    We also had Wendell Adkins who was house singer at Micky Gillys Nightclub and Dan Seals came over at the time he was No 1 on the Billboard chart. RCA recording artist Steve Young " the Renegade picker" also went down well.

    I recall one act the The Joe Sun Band were brilliant and he did a great version of Whiskey in the Jar although I don't think they ever recorded it.
    After the show the Steward of our Club found a very expensive watch in the dressing room when he was tidying up and put it in a pint pot to hand to me when I went in later. He said it looked to be worth a few bob.

    The band were at the Guildhall in Hull the next night and phoned our Club about the watch. When they were told we had it a member of their party came from Hull in the groups van to pick it up.
    The Steward told me he had been told by the roadie who picked it up that it belonged to Joe's guest lead guitarist one Joe Satriani no less.!!!

    I have no evidence to support that and I can't see anything in his or Joe's bio's to ever say they played together.
    But the Steward who was into Val Doonican and Shirley Bassey couldn't have made that name up surely.?
    It didn't register with me at the time either because he wasn't as famous as he is now.

    Joe Satriani started playing in 1974 and the show with Joe Sun was around 1982 when he would have been around
    twenty six so it's possible.

    Anyone got anything that might show that before he hit it big and played with some of the worlds top acts Joe toured with top Rock/ Country acts in England as lead guitar.?

    Whoever it was they were great. Some tremendous riffs. Think he taught Steve Vai didn't he.?

    Can't believe nobody has plumped for Black Box Recorder's version of the Althea and Donna classic

    I'm a big fan of cover versions, but only where the original song is changed into something new - so not the X Factor Karaoke covers released every year.

    Some of my favourites (as well as those by Johnny Cash and Joey Ramone mentioned above) :

    Big Black - The Model (Kraftwerk)
    Snuff - I Think We're Alone Now (Tiffany version), "Do Nothing" (The Specials), and "Blankety Blank", "Shake'n'Vac" and "Qwik Fit Fitter" (from the TV)
    Ukrainians - "Давні Часи / Davni Chasy" ("Those Were the Days" - Mary Hopkin)
    Muse - Feeling Good (Nina Simone)
    Johnny Cash - Mercy Seat (Nick Cave & Bad Seeds)
    Ministry/1000 Homo DJs - "Supernaut" (Black Sabbath), "Lay Lady Lay" (Bob Dylan) and "The Light Pours Out of Me" (Magazine)
    Marilyn Manson - Personal Jesus (Depeche Mode)
    Mudhoney - "Revolution" (Spaceman 3) and "Pump It Up" (Elvis Costello)
    Pixies - "Head On" (Jesus and Mary Chain)

    Probably loads more, but its too early on a Monday to think properly.
