I've listened to Joan Baez and Bob Dylan sing this song and love this particular version - the way their voices sound together and the way that they capture the emotion of the song. (I didn't like Ronnie's voice when I first heard it, but got kind of used to that "truck driving over a gravel road" quality that he had.)
Let the hate pour in but this guys voice is pretty bad... I can't believe he is actually singing this to an audience. Of course people say this about Bob Dylan too, but I love Bob's voice (not now, I mean he doesn't have a voice anymore). When he was young his voice was great.
No hate mail from here, good buddy the voice is almost gone but you may not know that Ronnie died of I believe throat cancer. He was still one of about five best folk singers of 20th century.
What a heartwrenching tearjerker. Ronnie's voice has a lot of character. Eleanor has a lovely voice also. This is a great post. When was this record released? I want it.
i was lucky to hear Ronnie and the Dubliners 50 years ago - truly among the greats- God rest Ronnie and Luke.
