Mexico would be a neat place to visit.

In the words of Jerry Jeff ... "maybe Mexico"! It has to be ... so many great memories of this song from university nights spent in the Scotch & Sirloin.

both are covers, but Mexico just seems written for Jimmy.

what ejr said!

Happy James' cover trumps Ol' Hank's cover in my book!

Don't really care for either. but for arguments sake anything south of the border sounds good.

Mexico by default, on the whole I wasn't crazy about most of the songs on LTC and HGL isn't one of the exceptions. Never been a big country fan.

SInce I think Mexico is the second best cover Jimmy does...........

As others have stated, Mexico "feels" more JB like. However, I have a soft spot in the heart this H.W. classic as it was one my dad's fav's (RIP) that I can remember when I was a tot and JB's version on LTC brought back some fond memories. Nonetheless, I'll vote for the "Sleepy seniorita with the eyes on fire."

As Jimmy once ad-libed....

I've got to get my ass down to Mexico."

It is the better cover. Althought there's nothing wrong with his version of HG.

James Taylor versus Hank Williams . . . I choose to remain quiet on this front.

well . . . I saw him do Pour Some Sugar on Me by Def Leopard once out here on the island. It was sort of a joke. That would be my number 1.

I am sure the answer you will get is BEG.

Gag. I hope not.

I understand Bubba throws in some country roots occassionally for flavor I just always thought "Hey Good Lookin" was some moguls pure attempt at commercial success....and I guess he(whoever) was right but I like Sweet Baby James "Mexico" best !

Not a huge fan of either cover.

Yeah, so orignal vs cover argument goes right out the window. HGl is good, but Mexico just fits in.

And speaking of covers, I hate to betray my ignorance, but what is BEG?
