Sorry bolks but this I a great video I like the fact that Willie stepped out of the box on this one.LoL , Why Do I have To Choose and this video is the one to choose for all us Willie fans he is an exceptional singer songwriter and instrumentalist You Go Willie ! Only four on the country legends do it for me . Ol Merle . Johnny. And Willie . An hank . An whallon thanks. MrToeKnee642 .
@tarheels342 To each his own to me Dave Matthews sounded like he was whining instead of singing. Don't get me wrong Dave Mathews has great songs but in my opinion his voice doesn't really fit this song.
I greatly prefer Willie's cover but that is just my opinion. Just like I think Johnny Cash's cover of "Hurt" is much better than NIN's version(which is still great)
Not a big fan of DMB, but I can see their appeal, I think this is DM's best song, a good choice for a cover. I love Willie, unfortunately nothing new is brought to the tune, but the vid is very, very cool. Hey Willie, spark up a fatty and keep on making intriguing music, you are an American treasure.
Chroobyc, those are part of a song called ring around the rosie, which is about the black death, a disease that was in Europe long ago and killed most of the people that lived there. For more information you can google it.
it's okay, but not nearly as good as Dave Matthews. Dave actually puts some soul into his music. Willie's basically just talking. but, I do respect Willie's musical ability, so three stars.
I grew up around country music. Never really got into it but, I've always liked Willie and his music. Ol Hank and Mr Cash are right there in my top also.
see him live while you can, willie is a national treasure and will not be around forever...i regret never seeing CASH live before he passed, everyday.
@HellSucker45 "just like johnny cash COMMA original" translation into "simple english"; He covered this song in an original manner, just like johnny cash covered many songs in original ways.
Ya i personally think daves music is alright but i just don't care for it. I'm a little more into the contemporary folk hes almost there, but a little to neon for my taste.
fuck you slide...willie is awsome...this songs a damn good tune...you obviously dont know real country...or music at all...cause there aint nothin better
Don't expect any thumbs up when on his video, mostly Nelson fans here... Know that us Dave fans absolutely agree with you, even though this version is also good. Hard to fuck up a song with these amazing lyrics
It's a little weird that Dave Matthews's name is not mentioned anywhere in the description or the comments, he wrote the song, so he should be getting a little credit, right?
Somehow, due to some uncanny shooting, Willie looks like Bob from Twin Peaks in this video. Especially on the "we all fall down" line. Really freightening.
