Taxi
North Country
Nowhere
Amie

Taxi and Amie are the two best covers over all in my opinion

 

Big Yellow Taxi

This Land Is Your Land

Coming Around

Blues Run The Game (toughest one for me this round)

 

Big Yellow Taxi
Girl from the North Country
You Ain’t Going Nowhere

Rooting for "Girl from the North Country" to win this part of the bracket. I like the Crows version more than the Bob Dylan version.
