I'm a bit in a folk bubble, and you don't hear me complain. So, here's another folky #CrazyCover of the Day. It's #GlenHansard, #LisaHannigan and #JohnSmith covering the classic 'The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down', originally by #TheBand (1969).

The #CrazyCover of the day is a complete make-over by Molly Tuttle. She recreated the electro house / punk-ish hit song 'I Don't Care', originally by Swedish synthpop duo Icona Pop (ft Charli XCX). Difficult to define, just listen!

Another great cover in the #CrazyCover of the Day. It's Lake Street Dive and Tiny Habits with a stripped version of John Denver's 'Leaving on a Jet Plane'. I really like the close harmony singing!
