Mine has to be Jeff Buckley's by a mile off - the first time I heard it, it completly blew me away!

If I get to Heaven, I know I'll hear Jeff Buckley's beautiful voice welcoming me into the fold with his 'Hallelujah.'
The guitar accompaniment is absolutely soothing. I wish I could play like that. Pete and I will have to practice some more.

"Bipolar is a roller-coaster ride without a seat belt. One day you're flying with the fireworks; for the next month you're being scraped off the trolley" I said that.
I can't make my mind between the two, Jeff's cover is possibly the very best cover of any song I have heard - his voice is certainly angelic. Grace in fact is such a beautiful album, an album that I know I will revisit in ten twenty years time, just like Len's music which is timeless.

John Cale.
Hands down... John Cale.
Leonard's own performances from 1988 tour. As for covers, I don't like any of these, I am not pleased by their voices, I must admit. Also I did not hear all covers except mentioned. Maybe Rufus Wainwright has good one, his voice & playing is nice. But if I must choose one really - the honest cover would be Bob Dylan's live cover from Montreal 1988! And that says the-Dylan-heretic

Allison Crowe's new version of Hallelujah
Canadian singer-songwriter Allison Crowe has just recorded Hallelujah. The recording was made, (a few nights ago), live-off-the-floor in one take. It will be released on an EP, Tidings, this November 20.
For now, to preview the track, here are URLs to a couple of different-sized files:

I hope you will enjoy this version of a wonderful song.
peace and cheers, Adrian (Allison's manager)

cheers
hello Lizzytysh and everyone ( :
thank you for the welcome, and cheers back at ya!
I apologize if my notice about Allison's Hallelujah seems too ubiquitous. We're very excited and joyed by the recording and anxious to share with those who know and love the song. (And I've just learned how connected are these communities.)
I've been home suffering through a bout of pneumonia all week, and Alley's recording has picked me up spiritually and emtionally. So, you can attribute my enthusiasm to a natural state
peace, Adrian

I'm so glad to see you're still here, Adrian !!!
Not "ubiquitous," at all! It's simply that, even prior to your arrival here, I had already seen your notice on the Sony Board; copied-and-pasted it here [hence the "thrice"]; and someone [Helven] had already gone, listened, and commented! I wasn't sure if you were aware of that, but I don't blame you ~ at all ~ for sharing your good news [hence the "better thrice than not at all"]. By the sounds of it, it can easily lift one's spirits! I understand your enthusiasm .
I'm further glad to hear that you're apparently doing better with your pneumonia .
