Aerosmith was a favourite band from my youth, and one of their classic songs is “Dream On”. Imagine my surprise when I saw a young woman named Kelly Sweet covering it and doing a very good job – it’s her own interpretation of it of course, but I found it quite compelling. Her other music is also quite good. I’m a sucker for female vocalists, and when you factor in I’m also a fan of red-heads, well, let’s just say I’m a Kelly Sweet fan and plan on picking up her album quite soon.
You should try a couple of other folks:
Regina Spektor (Begin to Hope). Especially the second track Better. Shan and I saw her in Vancouver last weekend and she’s great.
Nelly Furtado (Loose). Cancon for ya š Ignore Maneater and Promiscuous (the two that get heavy airplay) and instead listen to Afraid, Showtime, Say it Right, In God’s Hands, and All Good Things. Great stuff.

One of my favorite songs… and a very nice cover from this young lady! Thanks for sharing!
Hey Jason…that was a great cover actually. I am going to have to check out her other works.
