    • Which do you think is better? The original song by the original artist or an artist who covers that song?

    Most people would probably answer the original song by the original artist; however, many people think a song they thought was the original is not.

    There are so many examples of this, I thought it would be interesting to do an entire series on it called “Cover Songs Vs. Originals – Which Is Better?”

    I think some of my findings might actually astound you when you find out songs you loved are actually cover songs from another artist.

    This time, we’re looking at Whiskey In The Jar by Tommy Makem against the versions by Thin Lizzy and Metallica, and what we learn may surprise you!

    I hope you enjoy my new series. 🙂
