Cowboy Junkies cover of Mr. State Trooper

Cowboy Junies cover of Thunder Road

Linda Ronstadt cover of Poor Poor Pitiful Me

I actually like Diana Krall’s cover of Desperado almost as much as I like Linda Ronstadt’s cover.

Linda Ronstadt’s cover of The Waiting (Is The Hardest Part)

Linda Ronstadt’s cover of Just like Tom Thumb’s Blues

Chris Smither’s cover of Desolation Row

Bonnie Rait’s cover of It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue

Gal Costa’s (may she rest in peace) cover of It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue

 

. . . I also like Steve Earle's cover of Mr. State Trooper (although I like the Cowboy Junkies cover better).

Sinead O'connor's cover of All Apologies

I forgot to say that I really like Lucinda Williams’ cover of The Games People Play.

At a concert back in ’99 at which Lucinda was opening for Tom Petty, she told us (the crwod) that she really like Tom Petty’s cover of (Lucinda’s) Changed The Locks.

I also really like Emmy Lou Harris’s cover of Lucinda’s Sweet Old World.
