Cover Me // Strand Of Oaks, Damien Jurado and more

Covers are a difficult thing to do well. The best pay tribute to an artist's work while making putting a unique stamp on it. But even with the best of intentions, it can go wrong for a variety of reasons - too close to the original, too drastic of a stylistic change or just a poor song choice. Here are four that I think got it right - great song, great performance:
Conrad Plymouth - Two Kids (Strand Of Oaks cover)
Strand Of Oaks - Ohio (Damien Jurado cover)
Damien Jurado - When I Light Your Darkened Door (J. Tillman cover)
J. Tillman - Roll Another Number (For The Road) (Neil Young cover)
