Greetings and salutations Hivers. Today let's go into another Three Tune Tuesday post.

As always, thanks to ablaze@ablaze for making this series. Lots of people participate in it! Follow the tags to find a ton of good music recommendation.


NOTE: I won't be embedding any videos this week. Hive.blog has a nasty bug where if you use the iframe tag (which youtube embeds use) the post will show up blank. Judging by how many messages I get from people pointing this out every week, I still have a lot of readers using that site. So until Hive.blog fixes their bug, I'll just give direct links.

Iron Horse - Sweet Child O’ Mine

How about we begin with a bluegrass cover of Sweet Child O’ Mine? These are the same guys I shared last week singing the bluegrass cover of Rocket Man. The funny thing is I'm often not much of a fan of bluegrass. I mean, it's better than country, but not my favorite genre. But it works well here. Or again, as I said last week, maybe these guys are just that good.

Dexys Midnight Runners - Come On Eileen

And as long as we are playing old songs, let's jump back even earlier to 1982 with a song that became one of the sounds of the 80s. This is another of those songs, like Video Killed the Radio Star that is just burned in my brain.

Duwende - Man in the Mirror

And we'll finish with another from the same era. This is probably my favorite Michael Jackson song. This was Michael at his best, giving us a great message and good music, before he got too weird. And here is a great cover of it. That lead singer on this one is just amazing. The sound quality isn't so great, but his voice is perfect for doing Michael Jackson covers.

So what's your favorite?
