A cover version is a new recording of a song that was originally created by another artist. Musicians often perform cover versions to pay tribute to the original artist or to reinterpret the song in their own style. These renditions can vary significantly in terms of arrangement, instrumentation, and vocal delivery, allowing for creative expression. Cover versions can help introduce classic songs to new audiences and often appear on albums or during live performances. Some famous examples include Whitney Houston's rendition of Dolly Parton's "I Will Always Love You" and Jimi Hendrix's take on Bob Dylan's "All Along the Watchtower."
