Steven Wilson Cover Version

[Edwardo Piet]

Steven Wilson did a compilation LP of cover songs called Cover Version before he did his latest album Hand Cannot Erase.

It features an alternation of songs by other artists covered by Steven Wilson and new songs he wrote himself. The only exception is track 8 where rather than being another song written by himself, it's the traditional English folk song The Unquiet Grave.

I can only do 3 youtube vids by post. What I will do is just post the covered songs since there's plenty of other Steven Wilson to share with you all from his other albums... but if anyone wants me to I'll post them too.

And seen as Paul Hartnoll is another one of my favourite music artists, and he has also done a cover of the song A Forest by The Cure, I'll put his version here too:

His music has received wide acclaim.
