Honoring the 2022 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Inductees, which includes Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo, Duran Duran, Eminem, Eurythmics, Dolly Parton, Lionel Richie, and Carly Simon; along with Judas Priest and Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, Harry Belafonte, Elizabeth Cotten, Allen Grubman, Jimmy Iovine, and Sylvia Robinson, Amazon Music has released a collection of brand-new Amazon Original covers paying tribute to these music legends. The songs are performed by an all-star set of musicians ranging from Lee Brice, GAYLE, and Madi Diaz to Hurray for the Riff Raff, The Suffers, and Megadeth.

Available now only on Amazon Music, the songs span decades, genres and styles, and find a new class of musical legends paying tribute to the artists who paved the way for their own careers. The full collection of songs include:

• Lee Brice performing Lionel Ritchie’s “Hello.”
• Megadeth’s rendition of Judas Priest’s “Delivering the Goods.”
• The Suffers paying tribute to Elizabeth Cotten with “Freight Train.”
• Hurray for the Riff Raff’s cover of “Sweet Dreams,” by Eurythmics.
• Maya Hawke covering Carly Simon’s “Coming Around Again.”
• Sierra Ferrell’s take on “Coat of Many Colors” by Dolly Parton.
• Madi Diaz’s rework of Duran Duran’s “Ordinary World.”
• GAYLE’s version of Pat Benatar & Neil Giraldo’s “Heartbreaker.”

“It’s really exciting for us to get to work with such an incredible group of artists each year to celebrate the inductees with reverent and heartfelt Amazon Original covers,” said Stephen Brower, Global Co-Lead of Artist Relations for Amazon Music. “I’m certain that fans will find these new versions to be interesting, perhaps surprising, and ultimately just really great listens.”

“I am so glad that Judas Priest are being recognized by the Rock Hall,” said Dave Mustaine of Megadeth. “Rob’s singing just goes without saying, and the guitar playing is just magical. Just top-of-the-food chain stuff that laid a path forward for countless artists in their wake. Going back and learning Judas Priest’s chord shapes and progressions on this track was a reminder of why they inspired me, and our genre, so much. Had I not learned it from Priest, I might not have learned it at all.”

“There are not a lot of love songs about enduring love. About finding ways to love the same person every day, and the way Carly describes it in “Coming Around Again” is both devastating and inspiring,” notes Maya Hawke. “Some kind of carousel of getting your heart broken and falling back in love that slowly turns throughout a lifetime. It’s so smart and so in tune with what I imagine the truth might be.” Hawke’s version also includes a beautiful background vocal performance from Samia.

“First off, this is some of the most fun I’ve ever had in the studio,” remarked Lee Brice. “Although it was daunting to think about following in the footsteps of an icon like Lionel Richie, it was such an honor to be asked. I am incredibly humbled and excited at the same time. This song is such a timeless classic, and breaking it down to go re-record it, I realized even more why it is so special. Honestly, I’m still nervous. I just hope he likes it!”

“What can you do with a classic song like this but dive in and explore the depths?” said Alynda Segarra of Hurray for the Riff Raff. “I arrived to the studio off a flight from Paris, jetlagged and returning home from a European tour. The lyrics for ‘Sweet Dreams’ touched me then in a way they never had. Suddenly I heard what Annie Lennox was saying; it was a warning.” Segarra continues, “My whole life I watched her sing it and she was so strong— superhero to me, with her suit and cropped hair. I vowed, as a kid, to one day be that unshakeable. But life happens to us all. So, I sing it today from a tender place, weary from the brutality of our world but not broken. As Annie told us all—hold your head up, keep your head up.”

In addition to these brand-new Amazon Original covers, Amazon Music listeners can enjoy [RE]DISCOVER playlists for each inductee into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. These carefully curated playlists are career-spanning journeys through each inductee’s career.
