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

Whiskey In The Jar Song by Metallica, original is from ~~the Dubliners in 1969~~ a traditional Irish song in the 1950s

Metallica might have been more influenced by the Thin Lizzy version. But the song is older than The Dubliners.
