Picking a country song because we were, you know, in the middle of Redneckylvania.

Original song: “I Will Always Love You” by Dolly Parton. Here’s her singing it on “Hee Haw”:

1) “Cowboy Take Me Away”—Dixie Chicks
2) “I’ll Fly Away”—Alison Krauss
3) “She’s Got You”—Patsy Cline
4) “Bloody Mary Morning”—Willie Nelson
5) “Ring Of Fire”—June Carter Cash
6) “Drive Nails In My Coffin”—Ernest Tubb
7) “See The Big Man Cry”—Charlie Louvin
8) “My Best Girl”—Lucero
9) “Copperhead Road”—Steve Earle
10) “Piss Up A Rope”—Ween

More videos after the fold. June Carter Cash doing “Ring Of Fire” in a way that’s close to how she originally did it. (Johnny Cash’s version followed hers closely; obviously, it’s because she wrote it about him.)
