That song has had a fascinating life. My wife and I listened to an interesting podcast not too long ago, about how we're really hearing a cover of a cover of that song in most cases (you probably knew that): Hallelujah | Revisionist History - https://www.pushkin.fm/podcasts/revisionist-history/hallelujah

To quote Bob Seger, "All of Chuck's children are out there playin' his licks".
I swear to god at least 4 posters here are brob.
one problem with that song I think the Devil won. Always thought he did a better job then the guy that made the deal with him.
Willie Nelson wrote Crazy but he wasn't the first one to commercially record it. He had only made demos of it while trying to sell the song.
Patsy Cline didn't cover Crazy, she was the first one to record it.
I have always thought that too. However, I don't have any ability to tell which one was technically more difficult to play.
The devils especially when you consider his multitasking of shredding on the fiddle and summoning at the dsme time. Say what you will but that is some skill.
Here's another cover of The Devil Went Down to Georgia performed by Mia Asano & Piper Ally.
They covered Freebird also.

Willie is recorded as saying Cline's version was his favorite. High praise indeed!
I think many musicians covered this song.
The Blasters did it pretty traditional:
Jack White kicks it over the top.

For those of you who are ‘50’s aficionados or are old enough to remember, the Diamonds’ version of “Little Darlin’‘ “ beats the Gladiolas’ version. However, I can’t say the same for “Church Bells May Ring” or “Why do Fools Fall in Love,” which pale in comparison to the original versions by the Willows and Teenagers, respectively.
Any song by Bob Dylan sung by anybody who is not Bob Dylan.
I concur and insist that Patti Smith be added to the "anyone other than" list.
even many of his fans say he's a better writer then performer.
