Default Please recommend songs to play in open C

Hello all, so I am wanting to finish learning Sunflower River Blues (I was working on it before awhile back). But this would require retuning my alternate tuning guitar from DADGAD to open C. So, anyone else got any suggestions for songs I should learn in open C to justify retuning haha

Dougie Maclean - Caledonia, holding back, talking with my father. Reasonably simple but great songs

Howard Emerson turned me on to a couple of his tunes in Open C. Peter Case did a lot of Open C tunes.

Thanks all for the great suggestions! I'm still sifting through some of the ones I haven't heard yet. I tend towards instrumental songs if I can since I'm not a great singer (although I'll belt it sometimes if I like the song enough). Foxglove sounds like a really fun song to play and not too difficult though so I'll have to look into that one.

I don't know what you'd call DGCGCD, but Zep's The Rain Song is in that tuning, and when I had an extended scale fanfret I used to play it a full step down from that which is super cool and drone-ey.
