Yep, total overated hack. Williams, on the other hand, one of America’s greatest songwriters.Hank Williams: Renowned as one of the great originators in all of American music, with "Move It On Over" in particular lying at the root of rockabilly and rock 'n' roll to come (I mean, just listen to "Rock Around the Clock" after listening to this song, for one!), and containing elements of country, western swing, jazz (that guitar solo) ... all kinds of influential, and a toe tappin' rhythm to boot. And, uh, actually original ...
George Thorogood: Warmed over white boy blues guitar and ersatz blues growl, wannabe all the way ... within that framework it's an ok version, for what it is ... a little slow for my taste ... eh ...
I just discovered this one recently.

Recent Events had me looking for the best version of Fragile, I think I found it
I love Sting but I have no doubt that Stevie Wonder is the absolute GOAT.

I've always liked George Harrison's version of "If Not For You" better than Dylan's original.
Similarly, I like The Band's version of "When I Paint My Masterpiece" better than Dylan's original. And I'm not ragging on Dylan. It's just that I think these covers are better.
I like CCR's version of "The Midnight Special" better than any previous (or later versions) I've ever heard.

...like Helmet doing this cover of Army of Me by Bjork -
Or this cover of Pixies' My Velouria by Weezer -
Or Mock Orange covering Weezer's Only in Dreams -

Most Beatles covers suck. This one doesn't.
I didn't even know Helmet covered that song. Won't play on my work computer now but am excited to give it a listen in the car on the way home.
