The Band -- "Long Black Veil"
Lefty Frizell made this song famous, and I've always been partial to Johnny Cash's live version, but The Band truly did make this song their own, paying homage to its origins while applying their own sound to it. The Band's version maintains its country feel, even with the electric piano that drives the track. The harmonies are the real killer, though. Classic stuff.
