John Barleycorn Must Die - JOE WALSH (2007 Jim Capaldi Tribute)

[psi4rick]

This guy looks like an older version of the lead singer from the James Gang. This was a group from the 70's. The lead singer was Jim Walts, thus the James Gang. His voice sounds alot like him also

[EMILIOMARENGO]

@psi4rick -you got it right, but...Joe Walsh's the name you're looking for. He was with the James Gang in their first recordings and stablished himself as a voice and guitar to be reckoned in Rock'n'Roll...

If Joe Walsh is on stage it's going to be very good! One of my favorite guitar players and multi talented, as this song demonstrates.

Quelle magie! Aussi la surprise d' un John Lord lèger au piano. On dirait que joe est ivre ou presque (John Barleycorn,le roi des habitudes cristallisées !?) ce qui rend sa voix encore plus adaptée à l'occasion. Quelle malinconie, les temps des magies et des magiciens on dirait qu'ils existent de moins en moins, dommage pour les jeunes.

i absolutely love this song, by Tull and Traffic, and, well, Joe Walsh owns it. This is a great video!

[Gilyslas]

Just freaking nice. Joe would save our country. He's got my vote, 2012.

[suzys11]

Joe Walsh for President in 2012!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[EMILIOMARENGO]

@suzys11 -he's got my vote unconditionally!!

[TheOldskier]

This must have been somewhat uncomfortable for Joe, out of his element (although he did a great job...nobody should have to try to sing this after Steve Winwood...)

John Barleycorn and other substances nearly killed him. So far he is beating the odds against performers with substance abuse problems.

[Hurriken42]

Is that Will Ferrel on flute!

[EMILIOMARENGO]

@Hurriken42 -that is Mark Rivera on flute...

e una cosa stupenda sono senza parole

[guyglowmore1]

wow this guy's good, he should join traffic and sing harmony with the voice

[freedumb2003]

@guyglowmore1

Joe Walsh sang with the Eagles.

Although pieces of Traffic are still around, your great sentiment is more "from your lips to God's ear" than probable.

But it would be good.

The flautist Rivera was smart to take the line his own way so he wouldn't be compared to the late Chris Wood. The more melodic and less overtoned sound is really excellent. Quality is where quality exists...

nice joe

[stereodreamer23]

Perhaps the most quirky, un-English-sounding version of this song I've ever heard, and I've heard HUNDREDS of versions.... All that said, Joe Walsh pulls it off somehow, making this song his own, despite it's ancient tradition, and he manages to not only do this song justice, but to perform his own magic on it, and transform it somehow into a uniquely American folk-rock anthem... Wow... He should make an entire album of traditional songs...

[EMILIOMARENGO]

@stereodreamer23 -he should...it'd be great!! He's a voice to be reckoned with, a true hero of Rock Culture...

[wolverine84]

Jon Lord on the organ?

[EMILIOMARENGO]

@wolverine84 -yes, Jon Lord doing honors on organ...

[GregERobertson]

@EMILIOMARENGO . .and the awesome Ray Cooper on the percs . .
