Very emotional Townes Van Zandt cover.

I prefer this version. Cleaner vocals from Patty in her prime. Probably the best version I’ve heard, and there’s quite a few.

Three way tie.

Edit - make it a four way.

For hallelujah, I think JBJ doesn’t have the right voice for it. Bigger fan of this one from Brandi Carlile.

For all the Mumford & Sons fans out there.

And for bluegrass fans that might like Metallica.

And finally, a nearly faithful cover with what I consider cleaner guitar and vocals for an improvement on a masterpiece.

Not a cover but I just love this archive duet video. I first heard Nanci Griffith on Prairie Home Companion in the mid 1980's. Amazing talent and much missed.

Roy covers Willie

Heard this on the XM Jimmy Buffet channel last week. One of my new favorites. Video feels like bad AI and is out of synch. Worth it though.

Sara's the real deal

 

[Bigjay73]

Yeah, I already posted a song, but this one is special

 

[Bigjay73]

One last one for fun.

I liked George Jones version too which was also a cover.

 

[BigHornRam]

If you are going to cover your grand daddy, you better do him justice.

In honor of Christmas Eve.
Don’t listen if you don’t stuff like disturbed, SOAD, slipknot etc.

Because IMO, the solo is the iconic part, while the rest of the tribute is mediocre. I nearly posted it earlier, but decided against it.

Very emotional Townes Van Zandt cover.

Another good Townes Van Zandt cover.

He's so nervous, avoiding all the questions.
