I Shall Be Released

Bob Dylan. YouTube has covers of this song by every big name artist you can think of - Bono, Wyclef Jean, Jack Johnson, Jerry Garcia, Joan Baez, Sting, Norah Jones, Chrissie Hynde, Neil Young, Jeff Buckley, even Elvis and the Beatles. I'm only posting those that stood out (Bono was terrible).

Chrissie Hynde (of the Pretenders) in Bob Dylan's 30th anniversary concert, my favorite.

Jerry Garcia in a mellower version.

The Beatles - from the Let It Be sessions, George Harrison singing faintly through a tropical jungle of electric guitar sound.
