Apr 02 14 05:03 pm Link The album Deadicated has more than a dozen covers of Grateful Dead tunes by a wide range of artists, some with connections to the Dead and others that are truly weird. The strangest covers on the album are Wharf Rat by Midnight Oil and Burning Spear doing Estimated Prophet. Apr 02 14 05:14 pm Link Alabaster Crowley wrote: It's a tantalizing challenge. It's also risky. It's rarely been done right.
