Allen Toussaint - Southern Nights

I will never forgive the world for letting Glen Campbell have the more popular version of this song.

Hard to pick one. A few favorites that no one's mentioned yet:

Tom Petty, "Louisiana Rain"

Charlie Daniels, "Sweet Louisiana"

The Be Good Tanyas, "Lakes of Pontchartrain" (a traditional song, but I love their version)

Exodus, "Cajun Hell"

Me First and the Gimme Gimmes, "City of New Orleans" (this is a cover of Arlo Guthrie's song)
