As did Budgie (see post #1)...BPDG is the very definition of a "Blues Standard"

All along the watchtower - hendrix/Dylan
Walk on by - Stranglers/Warwick
We gotta get out of this place - Angels/Animals
I will survive - Cake/Supremes
Little sister - Elvis/Ry Cooder.
Blinded by the light - Springsteen/ manfred mann

Cryin' - Patsy Cline/Willie Nelson.

Willie is the man - he's a prolific songwriter and a shit load of country singers have made hits from his songs....but Willie Nelson is more famous for his covers of others songs.No point in listing both sides of his talent,it'd take over the thread.
