In terms of The Band, I would say 'It Makes No Difference'. The Last Waltz version. The way Rick Danko sings the line 'I love you so much' gets me every time.

 

Danko=heartbreaking.

 

How about when he is listening to his song "Sip The Wine" in the studio next to Scorcese and just lowers his head seemingly overcome by his own song? Mesmerizing.

the dark end of the street - james carr

 

Have you heard the afgan whigs version of this? it was on an ep or single or something. I'd put it up there with the James Carr version which is saying alot I know. Arethas version never quite nailed it for me, seems to miss the mark emotionally.

Nick Cave's version came up on shuffle for me yesterday.

I'm not sure it's as good as the original but it is pretty great.

 

 

have you guys heard the version by Over the Rhine? (i think that's the band name) very moving.
