Heard this on Radio 2 at some random point in the office ... not heard it before but guess its probably been called out at some point ... Elbow - Independent Women.
Audio from a BBC session, video less so ...

I guess for me a marker of a great cover is a great arrangement of a song and singer that I wouldn't normally listen to.

I'm not sure we've had the Civil Wars, however they had some great ones which I prefer to the originals:
And what I think is the most talented cover of an amazing song (Waiting around to die - Townes Van Zandt), by the fantastic Lost Dog Street Band:
If you watch nothing else today, please watch that last link!!
