Another Bob Dylan Cover

Hebrew version of Mama, You've Been On My Mind by Shlomi Shaban.

The Selfish Gene

Two songs by the Israeli indie group The Selfish Gene (1991-2001):

Charming

Radio Time

(Thanks to Assaf)

Both songs sound like something you've already heard, and liked. Just like a mixture of some of the well known alternative rock bands with a very appealing lead voice.

They have the best name though =)

I Shall Be Released

Bob Dylan. YouTube has covers of this song by every big name artist you can think of - Bono, Wyclef Jean, Jack Johnson, Jerry Garcia, Joan Baez, Sting, Norah Jones, Chrissie Hynde, Neil Young, Jeff Buckley, even Elvis and the Beatles. I'm only posting those that stood out (Bono was terrible).

Chrissie Hynde (of the Pretenders) in Bob Dylan's 30th anniversary concert, my favorite.

Jerry Garcia in a mellower version.

The Beatles - from the Let It Be sessions, George Harrison singing faintly through a tropical jungle of electric guitar sound.

Awash in music

California - in 1970, Joni Mitchell defines "a voice like bells". Listen with earphones to get the true purity of the sound.

Kingdom by the Sea - Rona Kenan and Yael Deckelbaum (who is soon to release her first solo album).

Harvest of Feb 16

Wuthering Heights - Kate Bush
This was her first single, released when she was 19. I liked the words Wikipedia used to describe her songs: eclectic music, idiosyncratic lyrics.

Delicate - Damien Rice (live at the BBC)

Electronic Wandering

Angel - Massive Attack

Thoughts - Evyatar Banay
I couldn't find it streaming anywhere. It's from the album "Trip Song" ("Shir Tiyul"). Evyatar Banay came off as part weird part indifferent to me at first. I had to listen to each of his first two albums several times over to get how unique he is. I don't think this album was taken seriously when it came out, but I love it better than all his more earthy stuff.

Scatterheart - Bjork

It's Janis Joplin... It's Led Zeppelin... No, it's Asaf Avidan!

Her Lies - Asaf Avidan & the Mojos

Lyrics:

I said, "baby, I love you, now what can I do,
I'll probably love you till the day I die."
She said, "well, pretty honey, if that's true then give me both them pretty eyes."

I said, "baby, you can have them - you can have my eyes."
See I was thinking if she took them I won't see her lies.
But my baby, I can taste her lies.
