I've never been a big Van Morrison fan but this cover of Bob Dylan's It's All Over Now when he was singing in the band Them is absolutely wonderful.

Merl Saunders and Jerry Garcia positively 4th st
And I can’t stop watching puddles pity party doing where is my mind by the pixies
I hadn’t heard the song before so I watched pixies doing it and just thought meh while the cover just has me mesmerised

I rarely like any version of a song that's different to the first one I heard and liked.

Frazey Ford captures the essence of the original and her abstract vocalisation could be considered a tribute to the master (it's not, it's how she always sings...)

This made me think of the song obviously, but… the cover version by Jerry Reed
(aka ‘Snowman’ in Smokey & The Bandit)

Reed is one ‘hellacious’ guitar-pickers, a prolific songwriter too
He wrote ’A Thing Called Love’ & ’Guitar Man’
He played guitar on Presleys cover of it too
