Covers from #8 that I know and like and have not previously discussed in this thread:
Devil with a Blue Dress On - Mitch Ryder & The Detroit Wheels (Shorty Long) -- I didn't know this was a cover*. Regardless, I'm sure this version is the one Springsteen based his cover off of.
Hotel California - Gipsy Kings (The Eagles) -- A fun reinvention.
No Depression - Uncle Tupelo (The Carter Family) -- Pretty much sums up the ethos of the whole alt-country movement.
Fast Car - Luke Combs (Tracy Chapman) -- It was nice to see Chapman back in the spotlight when this hit.
Cities - Phish (Talking Heads) -- Very different from the original, but equally grooving. If David Byrne took downers to "take the edge off," maybe the Heads' version would have sounded more like this.
One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer - George Thorogood and the Destroyers (John Lee Hooker, Amos Milburn) -- This was Thorogood's radio breakthrough, at least in Philly. The second song I ever heard from him was a cover of a song that has already appeared on this countdown in a different version.
Voodoo Chile - Angelique Kidjo (Jimi Hendrix Experience) -- Only known because DrIan took this in the worldwide countdown.
* -- I did know the "Good Golly Miss Molly" part was a cover, obviously.
