I have to go listen to the cover versions you mention. I'm especially excited to hear the Lera Lynn/Shovels and Rope one. I've seen both live and they were two of my favorite shows. I was kind of disappointed in Lera Lynn's latest album, as I adore everything else she's released. Maybe it's just less immediate. It didn't have the same haunting depth for me.
I knew I'd written about this sometime back when I was starting to serialise my novel on Substack, and have managed to track down the post.
So here are my lead character's (and I guess my own) top 5 cover versions.
