Scary enough, you're right. It's an amazing cover. Pentatonix did a good version with Dolly as well.

Fun Fact: Dolly is Miley's Godmother.
monkeyheaven
I agree. I wasn't expecting Miley's version to be that good. And Pentatonix's collaboration with Dolly was pretty awesome as well.
myr14d
Yeah, this is one those covers where tons of people assume she's the original.
monkeyheaven
I honestly didn't know that Whitney's was a cover until she passed.
TheAverageJoe
Dolly's original was better. Whitney slaughtered it.
monkeyheaven
I like that Whitney can get those high notes in the song. It probably wasn't intended for that, but I love it nonetheless.

I think ISHFWILF is their best, then Shout. I thought LoC was their weakest effort, but I never really liked it, or SoS, so...
Hatixon
I'm a little biased against ISHFWILF for the 96 second silence at the start. It's made me skip it every single time.

well it is always subjective in the end. I just love Distubed, LoC was just the first to pop in my mind.

Winwood also played on every track of that album (iirc...maybe it was the one on either side of it) except "Feelin' Alright." I suspect (1/2

That said, add "Feelin' Alright" to the list. And I say that as a Traffic fan. Joe owned that tune.
mimomisu
Yup, he made most of his covers work better than the original and it was usually not just the voice

it was because he probably couldn't re-record a Traffic song, due to his contract. That is, admittedly, speculation, though.

Couldn't agree more. He is like a talented guy who doesn't realize his talent is NOT singing...but no one wants to tell him.

Apparently in the 80s he learnt to sing and his crowds hated it so he had to re-train himself to sing like Bob Dylan.

Exactly so. And i meant "people close to him that he may possibly listen to the advice of". Anyway, he should not sing. Ever.
