Personal taste re KWS' version of "Oh Well" (actually the only cover of the song I just despise; but then I'm not a fan of KWS' in the first place).
My favorite live version: a toss up between the Black Crowes with Jimmy Page...or the 1988 incarnation of Fleetwood Mac (w/Billy Burnette singing and Rick Vito on guitar)
Favorite studio cover: Bob Welch's from
His Fleetwood Mac Years & Beyond volume 1, followed closely by Billy Sheehan's version. The only two covers I've found so far that include Part 2.
Other versions I like...a lot are by:
Joe Jackson (studio)
The Rockets (studio)
Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers (live)
For me, though, nothing tops the original version on
Then Play On.
The late reggae star Dennis Brown did a really cool Rasta version of "Black Magic Woman". I really like it.
