I didn't see that Gordon died. So it goes. That's too bad... but he lived a good life.
I don't know any of these covers. Not able to listen to anything right now, so will make another comment after I do so later. But... Miley? Really? Ok, I'll keep an open mind and will listen later.
I share your love of Counting Crows.
Trust me, you are going to dig the Miley song. I mean written by Bob Dylan, so can you really go wrong? You're going to like Friend of the Devil for sure too!
