I could be wrong here but I think that when an artist records the music of a composer they pay the composer, through some licensing authority or the other, sometimes the Harry Fox Agency, for the mechanical rights to the song.
That means they can record it and sell the recordings.
I am not a lawyer and this could be complete BS. If you want to make recordings of copyrighted material find and hire a good entertainment lawyer.
