This version of Stagger Lee

with our own Robert playing got me thinking of the many possible ways of playing this old tune.
The Grateful Dead (of course):
Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds:
The Black Keys (Stack Shot Billy):
Mississippi John Hurt (double "Of Course"):
Samuel L Jackson (Stack-O-Lee):
RL Burnside during the same version (Stack-O-Lee):
The Isley Brothers (Stagger Lee)
Lloyd Price (Stagger Lee)

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.
