I usually don't dig covers that sound too much like the original unless they can nail it dead on...
In this case.... Well, I'll let you decide..

Thank you for mentioning one of my two all-time favorite bands--Cowboy Junkies. Their first album, "Whites Off Earth Now," is almost exclusively covers by Bruce Springsteen, John Lee Hooker and Robert Johnson. "Trinity Session" had quite a few, too, with the already mentioned "Sweet Jane," a modified "Blue Moon," "Dreaming my Dreams with You," (covered by quite a few, incuding Alison Krauss and Waylon Jennings) and my favorite--"Walkin' After Midnight." My first tattoo was Junkies inspired. ;)
My OTHER all-time favorite band, Nirvana, has some great covers--"Molly's Lips" (Vaselines) and "Love Buzz" (Shocking Blue.) (And yes, I have a Nirvana inspired tattoo, also!)

Not a well-known example or one that's even easy to find, but I love the Pat Metheny cover of Third Stone from the Sun that appeared on a Hendrix tribute album from the 1990's titled Stone Free.
Crash Course in Brain Surgery by Metallica is another fave of mine. I loved that punk covers Garage Days thing they did back around '87.
