Title: Covers of Mark's songs
Post by: qjamesfloyd on May 31, 2025, 04:22:28 PM
There have been many covers of Mark's songs over the years, so, I though I would start a thread to discuss them. I would like to start with a couple of newer ones I found recently. Here is Sturgill Simpson with When It Comes To You from a John Anderson tribute album.

Like this version of Prairie Wedding. I believe Mark mentioned this version when he performed it during the Get Lucky tour.

This topic was already on the forum (very interesting) Maybe it's worth finding and combining. I can't find it.

The Isobel Campbell one, she used to sing with them. Loved the lead single of her new album, didn't listen to the rest yet for some reason, so missed this until now!
