Bill Callahan? And Bonnie Prince Billy? And Sean O'Hagan? Doing Billie Eilish?? In a bossa nova synth pop style???

It had better be good, and it totally is.

I don't think this was ever released as a single but its a magnificent cover and superb tribute to Led Zeppelin who show their approval.

The Kennedy Centre Honors is a prime source of out of this world covers, here are just a few.

John takes a couple of minutes to warm his voice up but really soar's in line with the wonderful horn arrangement after that.

Aretha singing Carol King to Carol King, who seems pleased, exquisite rendition.

Plus:-
Elvis Costello saluting his fellow scouse, Paul McCartney with a blinding rendition of Penny Lane. Costello is a fine musician and gifted vocalist which often gets overlooked for his song writing. I've done a bit in my time and can assert here that Penny Lane is a very difficult song to sing.
