Original: "One More Cup of Coffee" by Bob Dylan
It is damn hard to cover a Dylan song. I'm hyper critical when it comes to covers of classics - sometimes they should just never be touched. Frazey Ford is gutsy enough to cover "One More Cup of Coffee" and her guts-i-ness paid off. Of course, its not better than Dylan's original, but it really does the song justice.
Visit Frazey Ford on MySpace.
Another version is done by The White Stripes. It's a very different version from Frazey Ford, which is softer and more melodic, but this one is very old country/rock and it really an amazing reconception of Dylan's original.

Come to think of it, I think I like both of these a little bit more than the original. Judge me if you must, but they are damn impressive.
