Yeah, DAC's version is stripped down and haunting.  He also does a great job on "(Tell Me Baby) Why You Been Gone So Long".

Honky Tonk makes me think of two things... 1. Harlan Pepper in Best in Show (if you don't know you really are missing out on comedy gold) and 2. Bill Kirchen, a true master of the electric guitar and the truck drivin' and Honky Tonk songs. If you've never heard Bill do Hot Rod Lincoln and you are a guitar fan prepare to have your mind blown - yeah that is him playing every lick in the bridge. From the 1950's to the modern era he gives a shout out and plays the hottest guitar licks of numerous players. A true treat for electric guitar fans. It is like hearing mini-covers of multiple songs and just a really fun number.
