By deep I mean with the most obscure original. I am not talking 'all along the watch tower' but things like Fever Ray's cover of Vashti Bunyan's song Here before

Fever Ray is relatively well known while Bunyan had very limited success

"House of the Rising Sun" has been covered numerous times. The most known version is from The Animals. I was today years old when I learned that this is the original version of the song. However, my personal favourite cover version is from BTO.

Another well-executed cover version is of the song "Johnny B. Goode", covered by Peter Tosh, beause it is tranferred into a different music genre.
