He Does? I've never heard that before. I know Healey did a version but i've never heard Stevies.... Got a link?

All their stuff is pretty good.

hallelujah - jeff buckley

Buckley's version of Hallelujah is great. I also like the version John Cale does.

Best cover band ever. The cover every genre, break the music down to it's most basic form and rock the shit out of it.

For example R. Kelly's I Believe I Can Fly...
