1 | Travis August 22nd, 2007 at 11:30 amThis has long been my favorite cover by The White Stripes, and thankfully, it introduced me to Ms. Parton’s music, not just her Dollywood theme park.
2 | TakeoffZebra August 22nd, 2007 at 11:37 amhave you heard the Susanna and The Magical Orchestra cover of this? It’s emotionally crushing.
I saw them perform it at the Sonar Festival a few years back and actually thought my heart was going to cave in. The silence following the final high note seemed to last about 30 minutes. The only thing I heard in an enormous venue full of people was sniffles.
Top 10 live musical moments for me for sure.

6 | Cadien August 23rd, 2007 at 7:51 pmCan’t get the white stripes version out of me head – it’s fantastic; ta! Back to listen to the One Dove version, and to try and dig out the Sisters of Mercy one too (anyone remember their cover of Gimiie Gimmie Gimmie a Man After Midnight?)
