Roy Buchanan's Down by the River (Neil Young) Sinead O' Connor's Sacrifice (Elton Jonh) are two of my favorites!

awesome call, great stuff this may not really be a cover but I'm going with the Broken Social Scene with their accoutic version of their own song Almost Crimes ... it is so fricken different and amazing many think of it as a cover.......
