My eyes they saw a better day

I love cover songs. I think my first favorite was Rufus Wainwright's cover of Hallelujah, which I heard way back in 2001 (before ad nauseam covers became a indie music artist rite of passage). Something like 45% of my music collection is made up covers.

Bob Dylan covers are popular because while no one can dispute he is one of the best songwriters of all time, his voice isn't always the... nicest? (Personally, I love his 60s and 70s work, but don't dispute his voice has only gotten worse over the years).

That's definitely not a problem for Ms. Chan Marshall.

The trail is dusty,
The road it might be rough,
But the good road is a-waitin'
And boys it ain't far off.
