[doghouse8539]

never bag jimmy who the fuck do u think you are,definately someone who never saw the boy's totally rockin out to there craft,never critasize anything untill you have stood in there shoe's jeff as well, mother fucker who has probably never covered either..

[mromsennis]

Excellent version!!!! I am going to search more of this guy!

[blublueblues]

There is NO one to compare Jeff Lang to period .... Like Frank Zappa very very few musicians are incomparable and Jeff you are one of the very few and that's why i Love you mmmmaaaaaatttteeeeey! PG

[4me2charm]

thank you ~ dylan introduced me to his version ... i had no idea the lyrics and obv have more reseach that needs to be done (one of my fav songs) .... is this related to bluebeard in an oral tradation?

[rickyblount2007]

Am I just seeing things, but is the bass player acting like he's just learnig to play?

[killgorebill]

just discovered this treasure

[MaccyMacMacMac]

Why Jeff is rarely, if ever, mentioned in discussions on Australia's greatest musicians/singer-songwriters is beyond me. People throw up Paul Kelly, Nick Cave and the regulars like Jimmy Barnes (gag!), Midnight Oil etc. All great in their own right. Jeff is in a class of his own IMO.

[Romanorum82]

This is scary good. What a great singer he is! Thanks for sharing!

[zilac1977]

This is very good.

[turtle3355]

I can't stop listening to this song. I sing it (albeit poorly!) to my infant son every night. Thank you for performing it. Absolutely beautiful and dark. It's a shame more people haven't had the honor of viewing this performance.

[gno231]

Thank you for that. it will stay with me.

[stickadickalicky]

i would fight a lion to learn how to play this. if anyone knows where i could learn this in this style TELL ME NOW

[kieroneil]

I'd never heard of Jeff until I saw a reference to him on a Natalie Merchant video.

This guy is a great musician. Great voice; great guitarist.

I can't believe I've never heard of him before.

[lmenday]

saw this live at woodford, blew me away! but jeff seemed to be getting pretty pissed with the sound guys!

[2882890]

I just love that abrupt ending. It's like "that was totally satisfying, now lets stop instantly and be happy with it...great!" So full of life this song, so raw and real. Jeff you've done it again.

[mattscoots]

im 15 and i have the same taste of music as my teacher' jeff langs music is so real' thats y i love it'

[chugguar]

Saw Jeff on fridAY in Launceston, Bloody brillant! Just gets better and better. One of the best gigs you will ever get to!

[rmstudio]

Excellent performance! Love the lighting on the studio. I am a photographer and can appreciate the wide lens and good light. Fitting a good old folk song.

[pyromanic78]

cheers for sharing rm,

im in agreeance. these guys really got a nice sound going here. im no photographer, but can certainly appreciate the way its filmed. great stuff!

oh by the way, for all i ranted about guns, id have one if i could too lol. we only get air pistols here =(

jeff..... a well deserved 5 stars! id have given you six, but hey, blame youtube.

pyro

[rmstudio]

Dont worry Pyro.. No ill will towards you. I know you were making a joke. But sometimes I think people really get the wrong impression of americans. Our goverment may make mistakes but our people are good ones. The good people here are responsible and own there guns with pride and act responsibly. Its the ones that have the guns "Illegally" that do the bad things with them. And many of those are illegal foreigners here on visa's and without papers.

[niennalilith]

does anybody know the Pauline Scanlon version of this song? It's also very good, although slightly altered.

[2882890]

Check out the Kelly Joe Phelps version as well on his album "Shin Eyed Mister Zen", first track and all.

[muddogg14]

Yeaaaah!!

Thanks Jeff!!

Waitin for US tour dates!!

[kydarth]

This huy rocks saw him at her majestys theatre last nite in Adelaide and he was amqazing the bassist, something cummerford is a bit creepy though lol.

Peace and love, Kyron Weetra!

[RJcur]

Go on the boys!

Met these guys this year,and my year is all the better for it!

Thanks for the vid mate.

[0405dvl]

a verry nice dylan song

[Chododolina]

Not actually a Dylan song, though he did cover it - it's a very old traditional folk song.

[0405dvl]

ok didn't know that he play's it well

[VonDook]

Utterly brilliant. I remember Jeff playing this at the Gov in Adelaide last year, and it was the highlight of the night.

[ItsNotAlrightMa]

Hell yeah. Thank you.
