Most folk consider this his song. Written by Scott Boyer and recorded on his Cowboy album 5 will getcha ten.

Great cover of a great song. One of my favorite lines of all time is in that song, “Wish I didn’t know now what I didn’t know then.”

There are lots of great artists in this cover of one of the best songs ever.

I stumbled on this cover group on Youtube a few years ago. Top notch musicians and vocalists. The CSN cover is 10 years old or so. The second is more recent.


You can thank me later.

Maybe not "Great Musicians" as specified in the thread title, but a whole hell of a lot of fun.

It's impossible to listen to this in the car and not scream-sing while driving like 80. For me anyway.

My favorite cover from Me First…

 

[sleehrat1955]

And then there is the ultimate cover artist, who sadly passed way to early and before she achieved fame and fortune. This is a live recording as she was fighting a cold. Brilliant vocalist and brilliant guitarist.

Her version is distinctly different that Judy Garland's, and arguably better. Certainly more emotive.

Another gem:

A couple Graham Parson tunes. I like the Junkies' version better than Graham's. It's so weirdly different.

 

[KishiKaisei]

Most all the playing for change stuff is incredible.

Love the Cowboy Junkies. Back in the day I saw them when they were touring with John Prine. What a show!
