Good songs to play on slide?

Guitar players -- what are some good country/folk/blues songs for a couple of intermediate acoustic players, one strumming or picking, the other accompanying on slide?
Like the Stones's mid-period acoustic blues, or "Willin'," or Old Crow Medicine Show's "Good Gal". Any more suggestions along these lines? Bias toward older traditional (or newer, very trad. rootsy sounding) songs.

Missin' You (Lowell George)
Down in Mississippi (Pop Staples)
Little Sister (Ry Cooder version)
Ry Cooder has a great album "Paradise & Lunch" from which you could pull lots of good stuff and of course nick some great slide lines

You can get some ideas from KeniLeeBurgess' youtube channel. I have more trouble finding songs I could play with a slide (with my poor skills,) so I'd look at slide guitar songs and see if I could play along finger style instead of the other way around.
