@Hank I have a set of the Sony NC headphones too. For flying and yard work. They are the 900's though. Then I bought a pair of Bose 700, cuz everyone said they were the best. Honestly, I can't tell the difference. Funny that we both seem to like the Polk speakers.
Sticking with the theme of covers and/or live music. Here are The Indigo Girls doing Bob Dylan's Tangled Up In Blue
Who has heard of The Highwoman? A play on "The Highwayman", who need no explanation. They are comprised of Brandy Carlisle, Natalie Hemby, Maren Morris and Amanda Shires. And backed by Jason Isbell, Amanda's husband, and a an awesome musician in his own right. Amanda's violin work is always stellar.

You may need a tissue for this one! Not quite a "cover". In this version, they are accompanied by Yola.
I have heard the name Ry Cooder for decades and never could put a song to the name before. Reminds me of The Band, The Grateful Dead, JJ Cale and maybe even John Hiatt (a little). I like it!
@Mona That is the soundtrack to my early youth. I was about 8 when they played that on Ed Sullivan. The Lovin' Spoonful sure got a lot of airplay back then. And this, a cover, naturally:

I'm glad that you liked the song. Speaking of John Hiatt, Ry Cooder played on Hiatt's excellent Bring the Family album. The four musicians¹ who played on this album would later form a short-lived band called Little Village.
¹ Ry Cooder (guitar, vocal); John Hiatt (guitar, piano, vocal); Nick Lowe (bass, vocal); Jim Keltner (drums)

@Observant1 The sort of details that prove you are a true music lover! Thanks.

Here is one that I am certain we both listened to a lot and really like!
I really love this live backyard medley (including Can't You See). The guitarist is exceptional. At least four different songs in the medley.
A supergroup for sure - Vince Gill, Zac Brown, Greg Allman, Kenny Aronoff (Mellencamp), Jack Pearson, Audley Freed, Chuck Leavell, Rami Jaffee (Foo Fighters). I know I missed someone.
