Good thread tot. I have long been collecting as many takes on the Stack & Billy story as I could find.
Don't forget this one...
The Clash - Wrong 'Em Boyo

I don't have youtube access at work, and I don't know if they have a clip anyway, but Aussie band Magic Dirt do Stagger Lee too. It's interesting to hear it with a female vocal.
The Samual L Jackson version gave me chills in the cinema. I LOVE that version. the guitar sound is soooooooo nice.

Ah yes Jipes. Thanks, I should not have neglected Taj. He's the Good Man.
I had never heard the Chris Whitely & Jeff Lang version before. The 29 second clip that I could find was killer. Dislocation Blues was great as well.
It was worth starting this thread just to hear that.

Don't get me started with Chris Whitley :rotflmao: otherwise the all Fret pages won't be enough space to tell how much I praise this artist :master:
