    Breakfast Special - The Harder They Come
    great bluegrass version. No really, it works.

    Seems like the Neville Bros, or maybe the Meters, covered some Reggae, but I can't think what.

    Wayne Kramer put out a version of The Harder They Come on a Radar 45 in about 1978.

    John Martyn covered Johnny Too Bad on his Grace and Danger album.
