The Jeni and Billie version of Panting for Heaven is a favorite of mine.
Will, I think you were the one who posted it to the discussions list. It is a very nice interpretation of the Sacred Harp tune. I found it also on youtube under the Cooper name "Longing for Heaven" (not sure if they are aware that is the Cooper name, or if they decided to use that to distinguish their arrangement from the Sacred Harp title they knew). I recently listened to some of their other stuff on youtube, including Oxycodone, Chicken Ridge, and Tazewell Beauty Queen. They have nice harmony and sound.
There's also Bob Dylan's version of Lone Pilgrim: http://vimeo.com/107897703
