Gospel Songs Hank

The same song with two entirely different deliveries. Has the meaning of the song changed?
In 1948, Hank Williams Sr. wrote this gospel styled country song:
Then in 1995, The The took it for their Hank Williams tribute album “Hanky Panky”, and played with it a bit, upping the tempo and modernising it:
So with that, do you think the entire motives of the song have changed?
MQ: Favourite song about redemption?
MQ2: Favourite covers?
MQ3: Should people of the rock persuasion take Hank Williams more seriously as an influential singer/songwriter, especially when you take into account his importance on people like Elvis?
MQ4: Do you know of any other rock bands/musicians who could successfully pull off a Hank Williams tribute album?
I can’t explain it, but the song’s meaning has definitely changed. It becomes less about ‘God’ and more…I’m not sure. Like “the light” could mean “more vagina” or something.
MA: “Redemption Song” by Marley is always good. And to keep within the ‘cover’ and ‘country’ range, “Hurt” as covered by Johnny Cash.
MA2: “Hallelujah” covered by Jeff Buckley.
MA3: Absolutely. There are so many amazing country musicians that are automatically dismissed in this section just because it’s ‘not cool’ to love -any- country as far as the narrow-minded are concerned. In my opinion at least–all genres can be linked or traced together.
MA4: Kings of Leon covering “Lovesick Blues” would be amazing–Caleb is good at the yodel-cry. Though I think Brandi Carlile would be equally amazing on the same song–resulting in a different take on the same song because of her sex, possibly. “I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry” is easily something Jack White could take care of.
There are more, but that’s all I can think of so far. I’d like to hear someone like Damien Rice, Patrick Watson, or Sufjan Stevens attempt a song, too. It may produce interesting results.
