I like covers that are out of the norm. I think Alyson Greenfield covering Coolio’s Gangsta’s Paradise using only her voice and a glockenspiel is awesome. She’s done a lot of covers and you can find them all on her latest release “Rock Out With Your Glockenspiel Out” which features covers of
Bad Boys, All That She Wants , Milkshake , Mama Said Knock You Out and of course Gangsta’s Paradise.

Cover show…If you want to know what the songs are, let me know. I don’t want to post the list since the songs aren’t podsafe.
