I dunno, I kinda like it.
I like that they didn't do a strict copy of the original arrangement.
Heck, just for someone to even KNOW about the song enough to say "hey, I wanna cover that" is really great.

True, but normally not your point of view when it comes to covers. 
That's not exactly accurate. Just because I thought Lindsey butchered "Here Comes The Sun" nine days to Sunday (which I think is where you're coming from with that comment), doesn't mean I don't think he kicked butt and IMPROVED "Big Yellow Taxi", "She Smiled Sweetly", "Gotta Get Away" or "Singer Not The Song" (or "Blue Letter" or "All My Sorrows", etc, etc). I NORMALLY will like a cover unless it is so OVERdone as to ruin the context of the song...and those don't come along very often, thank God.
