I dig it when someone does a cover that isn't an obvious choice for them. Especially when it's not like they're cashing in on a recent hit by someone else. That's the common thread with these, to varying degrees. The Black Keys covering Eddie Cochran? Not that big of a stretch. But Eli "Paperboy" Reed covering Motorhead? Bluegrass granddad Ralph Stanley covering the Velvet Underground?
