As you could imagine, there is a ridiculous number of great covers for this classic. I picked these three interesting ones for today. I am sure that I will revisit this gem again sometime down the road.

Oh the disharmony! Much like Harlan County there are no neutrals here. It is your solemn responsibility to decide which cover song prevails. In other words … Which Side Are You On!??!

Everybody’s Dressin’ Funny … Cover Me Impressed!

 

Read it in the Sunday Papers …

Elvira Montes is a champion. Last week, the 81-year-old grandmother competed with her family in Austin’s FloTrack “Beer Mile” World Championships, in which runners have to chug a 12-ounce beer before each of the four quarter-mile laps. Montes, who’s been running since she was 60, finished in 20:24 – 50 seconds faster than her 47-year-old daughter. Her son-in-law couldn’t even make it to the finish line. The octogenarian says she doesn’t even like beer, preferring scotch instead. “I tried to drink the first on really fast, but I couldn’t,” she said. “The second one went down really smooth; the third, even better. The fourth was all right.”

U2:

R.E.M. with Adam Clayton & Larry Mullen Jr.:

A damn shame. This one could have been a contender. But you just can’t slip the original band’s bass player and drummer into the mix and call it your own. Well … at least not on CMI you can’t!!! (Yeah, we’re a bunch of badasses around here, deal with it!)

Johnny Cash:

I know, technically, this is a cover and should be down below battling among other contenders. The problem is this cover is perfect. The song absolutely cannot be performed any better. As such, I feel to include it in the competition would be disrespectful to the memory of the Man in Black, as well as unfair to the poor bastards below who so desperately covet the industry accolades that come with a CMI victory.
