A new muxtape, the theme is soul/jazz covers of country songs. I have a casual hobby of collecting them. I'd especially like to find some more jazz ones, especially instrumental ones with a improv sort of vibe. Perhaps I want too much. Please let me know any covers which fit into the soul/jazz type area or any other less likely genre (salsa? hip hop?) I exclude rock and blues covers from this project just because they're pretty common, although exceptional examples welcome to apply.

I have fudged it a bit in that the Tina Turner is really a country version; a soul singer but a country version, pedal steel and all. The Aretha is a bit the same, with Duane Allman on guitar. And Keely Smith is probably covering Ray Charles' version which straddled the genres to begin with.
