No, you can't, unless you pay royalties.

This is called a "cover" when you record songs that have previously been recorded. Because you made your own recording, you won't have to deal with RIAA. However you will have to square this with the composer of the music. Each play on the internet is considered a performance, so you may be able to pay royalty to ASCAP or BMI which clear performance rights for most composers. If you use an ISP streaming service, they may already have this provisioned in their service rates.

Anberlin first did the music the texture good Drag on their 2nd album, and that they re-did it for their fourth album, with the call sense good Drag, regardless of the undeniable fact that i admire the two, the 1st version replaced into lots greater efficient.
