Derek and the Dominoes' cover of Hendrix's Little Wing.

Emmylou Harris and Daniel Lanois' cover of the McGarrigle sisters' Goin' Back to Harlan.

[Dome Vongvises]

Derek and the Dominoes' cover of Hendrix's Little Wing.

I'm a huge fan of "Little Wing", and I love the covers of these songs.

Eva Cassidy has made magic from dozens of covers. A few of her very best are Paul Simon's "Kathy's Song", Sting's "Fields of Gold" (never liked it until she did it), Weiss and Thiele's "What a Wonderful World," and my personal favorite, Curtis Mayfield's "People Get Ready."

The Band's "The Weight" may be my favorite song of all time, and it's been covered over and over. Shannon Curfman's cover, from her album "Loud Guitars, Deep Suspicions" is my favorite, relatively recent cover (what happened to her, by the way?).
