"Silver Rider"

I like both Low's original...



...and this cover by Robert Plant and the Band of Joy.

Nikki & Rich - "Cat & Mouse"

Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros - "Home"

Ludovico Einaudi - "Lady Labyrinth"

k.d. lang – "Habit of Mind"

Here's the entire set.

Marvin Gaye - "Yesterday"

PBS' American Masters recently re-broadcasted a good 2008 installment on the amazing, tragic Marvin Gaye. The show ended with this cover, which I don't remember hearing before. Marvin Gaye has extraordinary vocal range and remarkably supple technique, but it's the sheer soul he brings to some tracks that's so transfixing.

The National - "Bloodbuzz Ohio"

Angélique Kidjo - Summertime

Angélique Kidjo gives a killer live show.

Fleet Foxes - "White Winter Hymnal"

Rilo Kiley - "Silver Lining"
