Covering a whole album Has an artist ever did a cover of another artist whole albun?
I know movies are always getting redone so I was just curious as to whether it's ever been done on record. [Edited 8/22/18 20:38pm] | |

Macy Gray did Stevie Wonders Talking Book Vanglorious... this is protected by the red, the black, and the green. With a key... sissy! | |

I have a record by Ramsey Lewis called Mother Nature's Son. It's not the entire Beatles' white album, but every song on it came from there. In the same way George Benson has an album called The Other Side of Abbey Road where all of the songs came from Abbey Road. You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

Yes. Radio Riddler have an album called Purple Reggae which is actually a cover version of the full Purple Rain album reggae style with some big name guest artists....would be interesting to hear what you think. I listened to it on Spotify. | |

Cheap Trick did Sgt Pepper, but that was more of a celebration than a reimagining, like when Amanda Palmer covered the of entire Purple Rain.

Mary Lee's Corvette did Bob Dylan's Blood on the Tracks (live, no less) back in about 2002. It was incredible! Unfortunately, I lent it to a girl I liked in grad-school and I've never seen it since... | |

Morgan James covers the entirety of D'Angelo and the Vanguard's Black Messiah with acoustic guitar accompaniment. I discovered that session on Youtube. I hope that it's still on there. She's an admirer of his and has said that she would like to write with D'Angelo. > It's great to listen to for the bluesy acoustic interpretation and James's clear vocalizations. | |

It is generally a bad idea. The only one I have liked was Najee's "Songs From the Key of Life". "It's not nice to fuck with K.B.! All you haters will see!" - Kitbradley
