"Cause there's a Continental Trailways leaving local bus tonight, good evening
You can have my seat, I'm sticking round here for a while
Get me a room at the Squire, the filling station's hiring
And I can eat here every night, what the hell have I got to lose?
Got a crazy sensation, go or stay? now I gotta choose
And I'll accept your invitation to the blues "

This is what covers should do - stamp your own version it but stay true to the greatness of the original

Cowboy Junkies covering Neil Young in a good way is not a new thing, but this is magnificent.

[The Phantom Horseman]

my favourite cover version of all time is this, not that it's a well-known song in the first place...

"jackknifed and all washed up in Storyville, just mocking birds and sleeping pills..."

A Neil Young classic covered by the Dave Mathews Band, seventeen minutes long but worth every second.

As i understand it, the only artist ever credited on a Beatles Album.

Anyway, this tops the original imo.
