Ronnie Drew & Eleanor Shanley - Boots of Spanish Leather

[DShaw42011]

Wow im a huge Dylan fan and I have to say I like both versions equally Ronnies voice is great

[agabbahey]

FWW I love this version so much more than Dylan's original. Ireland has given this world so much wonderful music. In the U.S. we can still hear reminants of it in our early country and folk music. For me The Dubliners are perhaps Irelands greates musical gift. Thanks Ireland. Hope to visit there some day.

[Rory99M]

On my ipod, this is song by bob dylan is my favorite song, I have listened to it 217 times according to itunes. But I think this version is even better. Thanks Ronnie Drew, ya make me proud to be Irish!

[GrahamClan16]

Beautiful..



[pedraozinhuu1]

A God and a Godess. SUBLIME. UNIC.

Rest In Peace Ronnie Drew. I'm portuguese but i love your Ireland too.

[pedraozinhuu1]

Ronnie and Eleanor, SUBLIMES VOICES. Unparalleled.

[pedraozinhuu1]

Ronnie Drew you are THE BEST. You sing for Gods.

Thanks. Long life for Ireland and Portugal.

Eleanor have a great voice too. She sings very very very well.

[jrhays49]

Except for that of The Seldom Scene, this is the best version of this song that I have ever heard. Your having dividing it into his/her parts as well as some duet harmony was exactly what this song needed. Most excellent job, both of you!!!

[martcarey]

Who are these 5 morons who pressed "Dislike"?

[DShaw42011]

@martcarey Probably Dylan fans who dont appreciate beautiful covers of his songs...

[piratadelsur98]

Ronnie Drew we'll never forget you...I'm spanish and I love Ireland his culture,his music, the fields, the cities, really I want to go to Ireland,when I will be there I'll walk fo his beautiful cities listening this legend...Ronnie Drew and his dubliners :)

[bergcux]

Ich vermisse Ronnie Drew. Ich bin mit seiner Musik aufgewachsen und es tut nachwievor weh. I miss Ronnie Drew. I grow up with his music, an it still hurts so much...

[BarbaricPagan]

one of my favorites, it brings tears to my eyes.... so beautifull

[hofaheed]

The best version ever of this beautiful song. Thank you.

[tomgii13]

@hofaheed have to agree with you there, dont normaly rate covers much (with a very few exceptions) this songs has always been special to me, but this is the first time ive heard anyone other than dylans version, not sure why as ive been a dubliners fan since school. got to say though, this is, now THE version for me.

[ownlie]

Great version of Dylan song. Ronnie is sadly missed.

[MORGANTHEMOON1]

Ronnie is just pure class Eleanor has the voice of an angel. Regardless what they are singing about Folk music is the music of the people.

[Teddyb1939]

This is an unusual version of one of my favourite Dylon songs & I absolutely love it. All praise to Eleanor & the great Ronnie.

[billyhunchback]

A Classic!

[bruffbhoy]

How could 2 voices like these fail to inspire. Especially The legend Ronnie Drew. Much the same as Roy Williamson from the Corries. Special :0)

[IDonISkyIMhI]

can't believe some people "disliked" this. This song means alot to me as my girl and I are separated by distance again...

[StonerCreaney]

r.i.p ronnie very good voice

hopefully 1 day soon ireland will be free from a foreign government

[HEIDI5582]

The unique Ronnie Drew! I've only just discovered this and think it's something quite special. Thank you for sharing such tracks as this - you give a lot of people great pleasure.

[shotofdylan]

beautiful rendition

[mark70920]

fantastic version , made for these two to sing.

When you hear the song sung this way you realise what an absolute genius Dylan is.

[MMMbratt]

@mark70920 absolute genius, true that!

[iipict]

Best Irish balladeer ever I've had the good fortune to listen to.

God bless him...

[killarybhoy]

The contrast between Ronnie's gravelly voice and Eleanor's sweet feminine tones give this an added dimension . beautiful .

[paulterry1000]

This is a brilliant version of this song. The grace and brilliance that was and will always be Ronnie Drew.

[ceepatton]

the beginning of the song was like fingernails scratching on a chalkboard... and then came oscar the grouch with vocals... not diggin' it whatsoever

[drahthaar4me]

@ceepatton your not digging it then why listen and bother commenting at all.

[ceepatton]

@drahthaar4me

I listened because I have never heard it before... I commented because YouTube gives me the option to "Post a Text Comment," not "Post a Compliment."

[drahthaar4me]

ur rite my bad  may god bless u are a wonderful human being, thank u and good nite

[DumberWarrior]

Well keep your poxy stupid comment's to yourself..

You should have moved on to the next song and not commented

[ceepatton]

If you're implying that you like this song, you are a fucking idiot. hahahahaha

[DumberWarrior]

Listen you dumb fuck no one is asking you to listen to it just go kill yourself ok

[ceepatton]

I truly wish I hadn't listened to it. I believe this song is so bad that it should promptly be removed from YouTube. I'm just stating my opinion. Calm down

[DumberWarrior]

Listen you little prick keep your poxy opinion to yourself you fool...

Ronnie drew was an amazing singer..

Do me a favour and kill yourself pls

[ejlaparram]

I don't understand the two of you, Dumberwarrior and ceepatton, is'nt there enough war and shit in the world, that the two of you have to wish eachother the worst during this beautifull music.

[ceepatton]

@ejlaparram

You have to remember I don't believe this song is beautiful. On the contrary, this song triggers my gag reflex, and if I don't want to toss my contents I have to mute the song immediately.

[billyhunchback]

@ceepatton And you sir just need a kick in the Nuts.From Ireland.

[billyhunchback]

@ceepatton FU

[Teddyb1939]

@ceepatton I loved the version /boots of spanish leather/ Shanley & drew, I note many having a go because you didn`t, I do agree with you,you are entitled to your opinion but maybe you were a bit strong in your comments.Remember in some peoples minds musicians can do no wrong.

[FUDCHOPS]

Haha

Fuck you pal, ..

This is a true Irish Legend and you are obviously a bigotted Orange Bastard if you can't appreciate the Mhan,..who is revelled in every Good Tim's heart.

U sad DOB.

GIRFUY

You will never know how Good it is to be a Tim my friend, coz u are a Hun and always will Be A Hun.

Ghod Bless Ronnie Drew.

XXX

[NipperM846]

There never will be another Ronnie Drew. I was recently watching a DVD of the Dubliners but it wasn't the same without Ronnie as we all miss that great deep voice of his. R.I.P Ronnie.

[walleex]

Class!

[brianserpenti]

it makes me sad.

really nice song

[inisk]

When I was a teenager waiting to leave home and travel, I used to sit and play this song and let my imagination run away. I did leave home and now live in a Mediterranean country, but not Espanha.

[ktmerzouga]

Que tipo the aquardiente bebia este hombre???

[bosquedehormas]

Inmortal Ronnie, nunca te olvidamos.

[jkeppel90]

Rest in peace, Ronnie.

[ktmerzouga]

La voz del minero da mucho susto.

[josparkes1]

Very Bob Dylanish, still very good though.

RIP Ronnie Drew, very sad to lose him.

[liam26lynne]

[Arathim]

Each time a man of the calimber of Ronnie leaves this world is like a very bright star dissapears. The sky ain't the same any more.

[slackerno1975]

Great song

[jkeppel90]

We've lost another great performer. A unique voie, a great storyteller. It's sad.
