Idiot Wind
Wish there were more EC Dylan covers (have only heard two).
Anything off of Blood on the Tracks would be incredible.. Especially "Idiot Wind."

Well, the two that he's recorded and released are "I Threw It All Away" on Kojak Variety and the George Jones demo of "You're Going To Make Me Lonesome When You Go" that turned up on the Kojak bonus disc.
Additionally, "Knockin' On Heaven's Door" was one of the Flip City Demos.
He's done a few Dylan covers live, as well. At the Imposters show I saw at the Ryman in Nashville in 2002 he sang the first few lines of "Tangled Up In Blue" as an introduction to "Brilliant Mistake". At that same show he sang the bridge of "Senor (Tales of Yankee Power)" in the middle of "I Want You" (the EC "I Want You" that is, not Dylan's). I know there have been some other live ones -- I know he's done "I Shall Be Released" (performed with Bob Dylan actually) and "You Ain't Goin' Nowhere". There could well have been some others, but those are all that come to mind at the moment.

I still hear him singing Maggies Farm:
I ain't gonna work on Maggie's farm no more.
No, I ain't gonna work on Maggie's farm no more.
Well, I wake in the morning,
Fold my hands and pray for rain.
I got a head full of ideas
That are drivin' me insane.
It's a shame the way she makes me scrub the floor.
I ain't gonna work on Maggie's farm no more.
I ain't gonna work for Maggie's brother no more.
No, I ain't gonna work for Maggie's brother no more.
Well, he hands you a nickel,
He hands you a dime,
He asks you with a grin
If you're havin' a good time,
Then he fines you every time you slam the door.
I ain't gonna work for Maggie's brother no more.
I ain't gonna work for Maggie's pa no more.
No, I ain't gonna work for Maggie's pa no more.
Well, he puts his cigar
Out in your face just for kicks.
His bedroom window
It is made out of bricks.
The National Guard stands around his door.
Ah, I ain't gonna work for Maggie's pa no more.
I ain't gonna work for Maggie's ma no more.
No, I ain't gonna work for Maggie's ma no more.
Well, she talks to all the servants
About man and God and law.
Everybody says
She's the brains behind pa.
She's sixty-eight, but she says she's twenty-four.
I ain't gonna work for Maggie's ma no more.
I ain't gonna work on Maggie's farm no more.
No, I ain't gonna work on Maggie's farm no more.
Well, I try my best
To be just like I am,
But everybody wants you
To be just like them.
They sing while you slave and I just get bored.

Because I have yet to hear the Clarksdale Sessions material (I have the CD at home but it is a Fathers Day gift from my daughter, and she has no idea that I ordered it..) I would chose, from your list, Leave My Kitten Alone.
However, I think a sort of "Complicated Shadows" angst with a little bit of "Let Him Dangle" color could make it dark but melodically playful. That's more how I hear it.
