Said Dead, but was more a tip to Weir and Wasserman's acoustic version.

Other. Love the Rory Gallagher/Bela Fleck cover. Then I suppose R.L Burnside would be 2nd.

Thank Jeff. I still have a suspicion (I also suspect my memory is shot!) the various versions sound significantly different, & I THINK one of the better known versions is by Savoy Brown)?

Very rarely is an original version of a song beaten by a remake. Son House wrote this song, and
owns this song.
