re: Country Covers That Beat The Pop/Rock Original

OP doesn't seem to be around, so while he's gone I'm gonna change the thread to "Country covers that might be as good as the pop/rock original, or maybe even better", in order to include a few more songs.
Ralph Stanley - "White Light White Heat"
The bluegrass great's take on The Velvet Underground. Lou Reed apparently loved it.

An interesting thing you discover from the early Beatles songs is how country many of them are. "I Don't Want To Spoil The Party" (a country #1 for Roseanne Cash) and "I'll Cry Instead" as songs are almost straight country.
This is Gene Clark's take on "I'll Be Back". Yes, Clark was in The Byrds, but this track is pretty much straight country.

I've heard probably a half dozen covers of this song and they are all good. Them's version is generally accepted to be the best and is certainly the most famous, but my favorite is probably Eric Burdon and the Animals. Teen heartthrob turned heroin addict turned mature pop artist Dion has an excellent version as well. Then you've got the Dead. Echo and the Bunnymen had two versions.
It goes on and on...all good in their own ways.

The Animals arrangement was a bad idea
I really liked Dion's version
The Dead as usual took all the rock & roll vitality out of it. I guess Jerry is singing b/c Bob Weir's vocals, while shitty, were not shitty enough.
E&TB was poorly mixed and like the Dead they chose to do it as a dirge. The Dead were druggies; I don't know E&TB's excuse.
I don't know why people deaden the song (no pun intended) instead of giving it passion like Van Morrison or Dion.

They have a live version that has a lot more energy and more closely matches the spirit of the Dylan original, rather than riffing off someone else's riff off of Dylan.
I'm not sure what draws me to that Animals version so strongly. It barely even feels like a song. They shot right past Dylan's trademark sneer and one-upped his apocalyptic imagery into some kind of peal from the gates of Hell. It's memorable, if nothing else
