Song Of The Week: Ain't No Sunshine

I have been wanting to do a month long "Song Of The Week" dedicated entirely to covers for some time now, and just kind of forgot. Luckily my girl Shelby reminded me of my longing, with a great Ray Lamontagne cover of "Crazy". So, without further ado, the next four weeks of music here at YBB will be dedicated entirely to covers. Hope you enjoy!

Bill Withers created quite a masterpiece with "Ain't No Sunshine", a song that I find sexy, romantic and sad all at the same time.

This song has been covered and remade numerous times, but I think my favorite so far rendition so far is Josh Hoge's "Ain't No Sunshine (Non-Album Track)". Born in Tennessee and talented as all get out, his voice is scratchy yet smooth and full of emotion. Love the acoustic take and the passion behind this version.

With all the different covers of this song, I must ask your opinion. Do you like this version? Do you prefer a different cover version? Or will you be sticking to the original and not listening to anything else?
