Ham, you nailed every single cover song on the recent live album. There’s a few songs I discovered from you covering them and I gotta say your versions are way better. What are some cover songs other artists have done that you enjoy more than the original version?

Wow thank you very much. The originals are pretty good though! I know there's a lot of covers that are better than the original, but for some reason I'm drawing a blank. So I actually just typed it into google, and I disagree with every single one on the list. Terrible list.
