|---|
| ALLAIR, JOHN | Stack-O-Lee | Larkspur | 1988 | slow, then upbeat elaborate piano background with vocals from Van Morrison's pianist. Nice. | CD | |
| AMEN CORNER, THE | Outro: Stag-O-Lee (live) | If Paradise Was Half As Nice | 1969 | barely recognizable, this is a live recording with enthusiastic music and someone yelling "stag-o-lee" several times. the band features Andy Fairweather-Low | CD | Logan - Price |
| ANDREWS, BEN | Stagolee | Gallows Pole | 2001 | nice take on John Hurt's song. good energy, nice playing. the cd also includes a spectacular 11-minute version of Gallows Pole. | CD | Trad. J. Hurt |
| ARCARI, DAVE | Stagolee | Vol. 1: Something Old, Something Borrowed | 2006 | a great voice and some nice acoustic guitar from this Glasgow bluesman. fantastic stuff. | CD | Trad./Hurt |
| ARCHIBALD | Stack-A-Lee, Parts 1&2 | Carnival Day - Essential New Orleans R&B | 1950 | first mainstream hit, with a long instrumental ending | CD | |
| ASBELL, PAUL | Stack-A-Lee | Steel String Americana | 2002 | the artist credits the lyrics to the "Louisiana side of the family." there's a bulldog, a broken glass and the devil. good version with some really nice acoustic guitar. | CD | Trad. |
| BACHELOR'S TWO, THE | Stag-O-Lee | single | | no info about this one - probably early or mid-60s. Lloyd Price's song with some fun organ playing. | Vinyl | Logan - Price |
| BACKDROPS, THE | Stagger Lee | Delta End | 2003 | 60s-garage style (Troggs, etc) Japanese version. the lyrics are a mystery to me but they definitely yell "Stagger Lee" quite a bit. fun! | CD | |
| BAKER, MICKEY | Stack O'Lee | Blues and Jazz Guitar | 1977 | nice folk/blues version from half of "Mickey and Sylvia" | Vinyl | |
| BALLERO, JIMMY | Stagger Lee | And the Renegade Band | 1992 | not terribly exciting version with a long sax solo | CD | |
| BAMA | Stackerlee | Prison Songs V. 1: Murderous Home | 1947 | very creepy a cappella version from inside a prison | CD | |
| BANJO DAN & THE MID-NITE PLOYBOYS | Stagolee | Some Rust, Runs Good | 2000 | bluegrass version of Lloyd Price's version. good fun. | CD | Trad., adapted by Banjo Dan |
| BARNES, JIMMY | Band Introduction (Stagger Lee) | Soul Deeper - Live at the Basement | 2000 | eight + minutes, with much of the time taken up with band introductions over Stagger Lee music. Barnes eventually sings the Lloyd Price song. | CD | Logan - Price |
| BARNES, JIMMY | Stagger Lee | Soul Deep | 1995 | uneventful live version by this Australian singer. | CD | Logan - Price |
| BARR, RICO & Jump 'n' Jive Review | Stagger Lee | This Is It | 2008 | perfectly bland swing/wedding band version. | CD | |
| BARTHOLOMEW, DAVE | Son of Stagger Lee | New Orleans Big Beat | 1993 | Recorded between 1993 & 1997. The story doesn't have much to do with the original. | CD | |
| BASSHOLES | Stack O Lee | The Secret Strength of Depression | 1997 | live at a radio station. Blistering guitar. | CD | |
| BASSHOLES | Stack O'Lee | Out in the Treetops | 2003 | strange, high pitched vocals - guitar and percussion | CD | |
| BASSHOLES | Stack O'Lee and Billy Lyons | Blue Roots | 1992 | raw, lo-fi guitar and vocals version. Sort of White Stripes-esque. Awesome | CD | |
| BEANLAND | Stagger Lee | Beanland | 1990 | nice rock version, good piano piece at its core | CD | |
| BECHET, SIDNEY | Old Stack O'Lee Blues | The Best of Sidney Bechet | 1946 | instrumental jazz version | CD | |
| BECK | Stagolee | Avalon Blues - Tribute | 2001 | tribute to Mississippi John Hurt | CD | |
| BERMUDA TRIANGEL | Stagger Lee | single | 1977 | Female German group (German spelling of "triangle"). A disco version! | Vinyl | |
| BILLY'S BAND | Stagger Lee | Being Tom Waits | 2002 | rap version, more or less inspired by Nick Cave's version, by this Russian band with a Tom Waits fixation. | CD | |
| BLACK FURIES, THE | Stagger Lee | Death Trip Saturday Night | 2005 | a San Francisco-based punk band. this version bears no resemblance to any other I've heard; the lyrics mention something about a Cadillac and a "killer in the night," but I don't hear much of the Stagger Lee story in here. | CD | Black Furies |
