"Long Black Veil" by Mick Jagger and The Chieftains

What’s a remix or cover you like more than the original

Long Black Veil by The Chieftains featuring Mick Jagger

This sounds like a traditional folk tune but it's not. Written in the 1950s, it's been performed by such luminaries as The Band, Johnny Cash and Dave Matthews. It's easy to sing along to and deserves to be made into a movie.
