  3 0 All Mixed Up by Red House Painters. NICO answered in Arts & Music over 2 years ago | Report 3 comments by Mike D, Peter F, and NICO… 0 0 This is definitely a strong contender. It makes the song about 10,000 times sadder. Mike D commented over 2 years ago | Report 0 0 Hey, I just wanted to say thanks for pointing this one out. I grew up as a huge Cars fan, and this cover made my day. Peter F commented over 2 years ago | Report 0 0 Glad you liked it! They do a mean cover of "Silly Love Songs" too.

  4 1 Jenny Lewis' (together with The Watson Twins, Ben Gibbard and Connor Oberst) cover of "Handle With Care," originally a Traveling Wilbury's song. Santos answered in Arts & Music over 2 years ago | Report 2 comments by Lee and Santos… 0 0 I don't know that song, but I voted this up just because Jenny Lewis has such a weirdly compelling voice. I guess that's cheating, but, oh well. Lee commented over 2 years ago | Report 0 0 Here's a sample of it: http://www.amazon.com/Handle-with-Care/dp/B00122WODQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=dmusic&qid=1247887577&sr=8-1 Santos commented over 2 years ago | Report Enter your comment or ask a new question preview THIS IS A PREVIEW: Click "Post" to submit it or "Edit" to make changes. edit Please wait… This could take a minute if the tubes are clogged.

  2 0 I'm a big Johnny Cash fan, and he spent the last years of his career doing covers. Hard to pick a favorite, but I'd probably have to say Mercy Seat. I'm also, coincidentally, a big Nick Cave fan. Lee answered in Arts & Music over 2 years ago | Report 2 comments by freikja and Lee… 0 0 Oh, hell, l don't think l could pick between any of of Johnny Cash's covers either, but he's definitely up there as one of my favorite cover artists ever. lt's not even because it was Johnny Cash doing it; he just rocked every song better than anyone else could have, or did. freikja commented over 2 years ago | Report 0 0 Yeah. He took so many songs that weren't executed all that well and made them amazing.
