Low Cut Connie

It feels like every hit song must have a slow piano cover at this point. There are so many out there. Not all hit songs are suited to the style yet it feels like every hit song gets one. But, despite the proliferation of this very specific cover style, there is still the odd new version that pokes through, that works so well it’s almost like hearing the slow piano cover for the first time. Sometimes, that’s an easy song for the style – a song whose lyrics befit a change of pace and arrangement. But other times – perhaps more often – the successful slow piano cover is one that shouldn’t work on paper. Continue reading »

Inkabee

The final Like A Version cover of March featured Inkabee (AKA Ethan Eggington), an Indigenous artist and rapper from Boorloo (Perth). But this isn’t the artist’s first time in the spotlight: He previously made it to the quarterfinals of America’s Got Talent and earned 2025’s Australian Young Achiever of the Year Award. Now he’s broken a record as the youngest person ever featured on Triple J’s cover song series (he’s 13). Continue reading »

Jeff Tweedy Covers Neil Young

Jeff Tweedy is currently on-tour with his band (which includes his two sons), promoting his triple-album, Twilight Override. Each night, during the encore, Tweedy likes to include a cover. (Recent shows have seen The Doobie Brothers‘ “What a Fool Believes,” and The Go-Go’s “Our Lips are Sealed.”) At a tour stop in Ventura, CA this past weekend, Tweedy’s choice cover was Neil Young‘s classic “After the Gold Rush.”

The song started with keyboardist Sima Cunningham picking out the melody of the song, to be joined by Sammy Tweedy on lead vocals. The rest of the band slowly joins in. (Though drummer Spencer Tweedy doesn’t play, he adds harmonies.) In the video below, you can watch the cover, which is then followed up with a rare version of the Uncle Tupelo song, “The Long Cut.”

Tweedy has one more month of shows on this tour before playing a few solo gigs in Chicago. Meanwhile, Wilco (Tweedy’s other band) hits the road shortly after that.
