There’s something really exciting about one of your favorite artists showing some love and appreciation for one of your other favorite artists by performing a cover of your favorite song. Actually, you know what it is? It’s my FAVORITE THING! So here are some of my favorite covers of recent years (I promise, I’m done saying that word now). (Also note, I didn’t include Ryan Adams’ 1989, because I felt like that was kind of a given.)
