Recently went to a one-day festival at a winery. All sorts of genres represented by very capable musicians across the day and evening. Every act played original music except one guy (Max Savage) who, though usually playing his own stuff, covered all of Paul Simon's Graceland.

The crowd was biggest and most engaged for Max Savage. After hearing 10ish songs that I knew back to front, the next act of originals felt very flat, despite being the more well known artist.

It made me very keen to hear Max cover other full albums, even a festival of nothing but interesting covers. Not cheesy covers, but cross-genre tweaks, etc. I'd pay to attend that gig sooner than I would an event of purely originals that I didn't really know.
