Cover Stories

Songs are constantly being re-done, remixed and revamped by future generations. Sometimes a cover can add a new a twist to an old classic, help you remember a forgotten gem or completely ruin a perfectly good song. Sometimes they're popular songs, other times they're a little more obscure. The song "John the Revelator" was reworked by Depeche Mode and released on their 2005 album Playing The Angel. The original dates back to the 1960-1970s by Edward James Son Jr. aka Son House.
