Nina Simone's 'Lilac Wine' is stunning. Jeff Buckley's cover brings me to my knees.
Joan Baez The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down.....a tie with The Band’s Version with Levon
Cowboy Junkies (everything)
--I was thinking of their version of Neil Young’s Powerderfinger, or One by U2, but you have a point. (both youtube)

Can’t Find My Way Home - Rachael Price (youtube)
--Hard to beat Blind Faith, but a great cover.

Jennifer Warnes--Famous Blue Raincoat (Leonard Cohen)
--Between the sax and her voice...

Bow Wow Wow’s version of I Want Candy comes to mind, originally done by The Strangeloves. Whether or not it’s better than the original - ?
