Re: Good covers (was: Kelly Willis calling the shots)

This covers thread raised a question for me -- what's it called when an
artist -- I'm thinking of Dave Alvin, specifically -- "covers" a tune that
he wrote for a band that he played in, but didn't sing, and covers it in a
wildly different (and better, in Alvin's case) fashion? Border Radio,
Romeo's whatever, a few others. I'll try to think of some other artists
who did this sort of thing. -- Terry Smith

ps so when's mandy barnett's new one coming out?
