Sheryl Crow's cover of "Mississippi" is pretty good. Like it more than the Dylan version.

huh? I my opinion Crow's version is pretty shit - after the first third of the song there's nothing but repetition. She somehow screams/shouts the whole song ignoring all the subtleties that makes Dylan's own performances worthwhile listening to.
It fact I usually use her version of the song to demonstrate people why Bob's singing is so great. The way he uses his voice on the Love & Theft version keeps everything vague while Sheryl Crow shouts everything right in your face and thus misses the richness of the song - and destroys it.
