The covers that I find unbelievably wonderful are those of Tony Rice.
He devotes a complete album to Lightfoot -- an extremely high compliment considering Tony Rice's position in the bluegrass and jazz world: he's one of the best. Alison Krauss says the musician who most influenced her is Tony Rice. So ... if you haven't heard that album (I know ALL of you have) ... get it.
("Tony Rice Sings Gordon Lightfoot")
