A note about cover versions (Music)
According to Wikipedia:
In popular music, a cover version, or simply cover, is a new rendition (performance or recording) of a previously recorded song.
The term cover version originally implied a rival version of a tune recorded by an artist subsequent to an original version. Popular musicians (and especially modern listeners) have now begun to use the word “cover” to refer to any remake of a song.
Musicians now play what they call “cover versions” of songs as a tribute to the original performer or group. Using familiar material is an important method in learning various styles of music. Artists may also perform “covers” of a favorite artist’s hit tunes for the simple pleasure of playing a familiar song. A cover band plays such “cover versions” exclusively.
The website Covers Project is built to track just those tunes, because you probably know that many artists weave their wares and sometimes its quite tough to track all the mirth…
I believe the website may be recently inactive though still up.
