2 August 2024 - Kim Petras - Stars Are Blind

NO, Totally Covered isn't going away.  Some things belong here.  

Like this pandemic cover of a Paris Hilton classic by Kim Petras, in support of The Stonewall Gives Back.


By the way, if you question whether or not Paris Hilton endorses Kim Petras covering her best known song, you should check out this video from Paris's wedding. (The two of them have actually performed the song together as well)

29 July 2024 - Phantogram - Violet

We really have to stress further that Totally Covered isn't going away.  Where else are we going to put Phantogram covering Hole?  Sarah Barthel channeling Courtney Love in a much better way is what we're here for.

11 July 2024 - Candlebox - Turn Me Loose

Man, the pandemic gave us some wild covers.  Take this Loverboy cover by Candlebox.

Yes, two bands you were this close to forgetting. 

And yet, it's fire.  Straight fire.

8 July 2024 - Shania Twain - Coat of Many Colors

Let's see...

The song was written by Dolly Parton and was semiautobiographical.  I grew up with Dolly's version, as it was a favorite song of my mother.

But Shania Twain is Canadian.   "Coat of Many Colours?"

By the way, that uncredited background vocalist is big time Grammy Award-winning artist Alison Krauss.

1 July 2024 - Charlotte Cardin - Heaven

We want to wish every Canadian a very happy Canada Day.  

Which is why we're posting Charlotte Cardin doing a live cover of a Bryan Adams classic that is arguably better than the original.  This was performed by Cardin at the Canadian Songwriter's Hall of Fame induction ceremony for Adams and Jim Vallance, who co-wrote the song. 

This is incredible.

13 May 2024 - Taylor Swift & Natalie Maines - Goodbye Earl

Some of you might be questioning this as a cover.

You shouldn't.  The Chicks covered the song.  

So, this is Natalie Maines on stage with Taylor Swift covering a Sons of the Desert song.  

And covering it well, by the way.

17 April 2024 - Dropkick Murphys - The Body of An American

I was fortunate enough to see Dropkick Murphys last month in State College, PA.  In my opinion, they are the perfect successors to The Pogues.

They pay tribute to Shane McGowan in their live shows, and in fact took part in a tribute to McGowan and Sinead O'Connor last month.  

This was the song they did - recorded just a few days before I saw them - and they did it beautifully.
