If you want to do a demo tape then write your own material.
Those I've known who've made it to a level higher than playing pub busking nights have always made it through giving demo CDs to bands they go to see play.
Try to get backstage, mail demos to the bands you like, throw them at them when they're on stage, that kind of thing.
Reputable rock record labels won't sign people based on them sending tapes of them singing someone elses songs.
Sorry if this sounds harsh.
and i'm thinking of jolene now as the final song.
PM me if you need any help, I can give some advice of most stuff to do with music. I know how A&R guy's work, I spent enough time being rejected befire the unthinkable.
