@lawdy69 Thanks ... I still get chills listening to it!

[lawdy69]

I love this song, and this version - just gorgeous! Great post - thanks!!! When I first heard this I had to stop and listen as I remembered the older version by Jim Reeves. This is great...

[miccajames]

I'm really growing to like this band. And with this cover, it's happening even faster. Beautiful song.

Jim Reeves is certainly smiling over this!

I am so curious as to how they came to record this particular song. Whatever the reason I am glad to see another generation exposed to Jim Reeves music.

Rarely do covers equal or add to the original but Camera Obscura has shattered that myth with “The Blizzard.” This gentle ballad conveys the love and the frustration shared by two old friends, one injured and one exhausted, as they struggle to reach home amidst the howls of a deadly blizzard. Camera Obscura’s contemporary arrangement drives chills up the spine as Tracyanne Campbell’s vocals bring home heart-tingling emotion. If you liked “The Blizzard” before, you’ll love it to death now!

@StoryMakersInc I have to agree with your comment. I love Jim Reeves singing this song - yet, this is indeed very special - simply beautiful!! I heard this in a Starbucks - and it stopped me in my tracks. Always loved the song - this version is stunning. Jim would indeed be proud. I can't stop listening to this rendition...
