I recently attended a campfire session with a couple guitarists and some UFO enthusiasts. The two guitarists took turns playing tunes by Neil Young, Cat Stevens, and The Band. Not being a big fan of that genre, I didn't know many of the songs that well. Both of them seemed to have spent untold hours imitating every nuance of the singers' performances and vocal tone and mannerisms. It was like a high end cover band level of detail. When I commented rather innocently how much the one singer sounded like Neil Young, his response was a bit snarky: Well, we do try to sound like the original artist when we sing covers. Myself, I find things rather fresher when sung with a different approach, for example a teenage girl I know who likes to sing "Blister in the Sun" and Johnny Cash.
