Vyvienne Long

Ever in search of a good cover version, I point you today to the mypace page of Vyvienne Long, where you will find her versions of The Beatles - Come Together & The White Stripes - Seven Nation Army.
Famed somewhat as playing cello for Damien Rice, that shouldn't be held against her, Vyviennes solo stuff is an excellent change of pace to hear from an Irish artist, the cello is a beautiful and underused instrument in mainstream music. Her debut EP, last years Bird Talk also featured covers of the Flaming lips - Yoshimi battles The Pink Robots & N*E*R*D's - She wants To Move.
She is Not just a cover artist however and has written some excellent songs of her own, word is that an LP is in the pipeline & I hope to hear it soon.
