Somebody smart came up with the excellent idea of a collection of Townes Van Zandt covers based on "Live at The Old Quarter." Everybody under the sun has already covered "Pancho & Lefty" and "If I Needed You," but not so much the other songs. Here's what we came up with, for a start:
Pancho & Lefty - Wyclef Jean and the Fugees
Mr. Mudd & Mr. Gold - U2
Don't You Take It Too Bad - Shawn Mullin
Two Girls - Bruce Springsteen
Fraternity Blues - Jimmy Fallon
If I Needed You - Joan Osborne
Brand New Companion - Tracy Chapman
White Freight Liner Blues - The White Stripes
To Live Is To Fly - Norah Jones
Who Do You Love - The Black Keys
She Came And She Touched Me - Dave Matthews Band
Rex's Blues - Sarah McLachlan
Loretta - Green Day
Kathleen - Joe Purdy
Cocaine Blues - Fiona Apple
This preliminary list leaves a bunch of holes, notably:
Tecumseh Valley
Waiting 'Round To Die
But it is a good start!
