Covers and More: When You Were Mine

This has been rattling around my head for almost a week now, so I might as well mention it here....

"This" is the great Prince song "When You Were Mine". (Which ranks up there with "I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man" as one of his great often-overlooked songs.) And more specifically, some covers of it that I found at "My Old Kentucky Blog", a music blog that seems to like to post MP3s of lots of different covers of the same song.

(The link came from Amanda Marcotte at Pandagon, linking to a list of covers of "The Most Covered Song in Indie Rock". Have I mentioned that I like reading Pandagon (usually via [livejournal.com profile] pandagon_net), especially Amanda's posts there, for the mix of feminist politics, music, and attitude?)

Anyway, check out the covers of "When You Were Mine", by Ani DiFranco, Teagan & Sara, and others.

Ani DiFranco is hot. And, a good singer.

Of course.

And hers may be my new favorite cover of that song.
