The Searchers did a version in 1964, but it’s not (imo) as good as either of these.

Buddy Miller doesn't do much songwriting (his wife Julie is in charge of that), so does a lot of covers. Here he is doing a Tom T. Hall song, displaying why I consider him one of my favorite living singers:

I recently watched a youtube of Adam Sandler with a decent band, on the Letterman show,  covering Werewolves Of London and I thought it was pretty good.  That's the first time I, personally, have ever heard that tune covered.

Bonnie Raitt's superb performance of "Dimming Of The Day", aided by the song’s writer Richard Thompson.
