The First time I heard this song, the late great Chris LeDoux was singing it, after that nothing comes close, not even Emmylou or Mr. Matthews. Sorry.
I wish mainstream country music was what it used to be... good. Don't know what has happened since the nineties. Most of the artists have strayed so far its barely borderline country music. Youtube is a great outlet for amazing artists to be heard. My channel is dedicated to those very artists. Check it out.
I know. But he had the first recording on it in 1959. If he had never recorded it, maybe nobody would even know about this great song. I guess we shouldn't thank george strait for Amarillo by Morning (since he didn't write it), nor patsy cline for crazy (since willie nelson wrote it..). It's just a comment. don't look too far into it.
@gluckme Fair point about Lefty recording it first. But, it would be a little silly to thank him at a tribute to Johnny Cash, of course he would thank Cash. It obviously was the version that inspired him. Feel free to dive into this comment, lol. Anyway, it is one of my favorite songs!
Fair enough. and great comeback, too, btw. Handled it without getting nasty. definitely one of my favorite songs (the lefty version, though... haha). cheers.
First heard this over 10 years ago, and it still is my standard version for this song. This could be Emmylou's most stunning harmony vocal ever. I know that's a tough one to analyze.
of all the performances of "Long Black Veil" this is the worst. Please, every alternative on the right of your screen is superior to this phony souless treatment. Really?
Have i mentioned that im in awe, and completely obsessed with , and every other lovely glowing adjective that is not at the tip of my tongue, for this darling, fabulously talented man, at hte moment ....(or several moments, at least)
Matthews is an amazing talent (along with his band of course.).. they are sweet and can truly kick some rhythmic ass. Emmylou... she is so so .....yeah! My Son does the Matthews version of this song during his shows.... he rarely does covers .....buthis one gets applause like mad. (voight?...wtf!)

friends of mine who consider themselves noncountry fans have been turned on to country music since watching this video,emmylou and dave manage to bring a classic to a new audience,and i want to say thankyou to you both,i love it!
@blewj That's just the dumb new thread happening. If anyone posts that they don't like said video, we say X amount of people have no soul, or don't dig it. Nothing personal!
@papadrugio if you read the description of the video you will understand why he thanked Johnny Cash. It is a tribute concert to him after he died, lots of musicians played songs Johnny Cash recorded. Plus I'd be willing to bet Johnny Cash made this song way more famous than Lefty ever did.....
LOL TO YOU SCIONTCDUDE I guess your name says it all. I am sure you must drive a Scion and were trutle necks. I am also sure you and your boy friend probably swing by Starbucks every morning to get some foo foo coffee. When you get to the office you are wiping something off you lips but it isnt cream from the coffee. O I almost forgot your listening to dave mathews in the car as well.
@Copperheadroad1 off by a bit ..i use to own scion tc back when they first came out i now own a 92 civic si hatch with a b16 engine swap full cat back intake header skunk 2 full coilover suspension ..im not gay and i dont own any turtle necks at all ...we all have our opinions and mine is this chick cant sing i dont know how she is "famous"
@Copperheadroad1 lol u know whats funny emmy lou or w/e her name is sucked balls she was just talking but with a higher pitch not singing..now dave matthews he is the one with talent
@kookes100 when you grow up hopefully you will understand that the wolfe tones cant sing country music or bluegrass,I would suggest you listen to the JOHNNY CASH&JONI MITCHELL version..!!!
@Af4408 you sir, do not know what you are talking about. Although JC is remembered as a country artist, his style and musicianship most certainly spanned many different genres (Lefty is much more of a literal country artist but LBV is/was a significant differentiation from his regular honky tonk country). And although this is a 'country' song, it is not country in the modern sense that I believe you are implying. It is a country ballad influenced by the sounds of country soul, folk and gospel.
It's all about Dave Matthews, not the song. Posing and feigned feeling. Emmylou and Dave Matthews don't sound good together either. I would bet that Dave thinks Johnny Cash did this Wilkin/Dill penned song before anyone when actually Lefty Frizzell did it first in 1959. If you want to feel a cold chill listen to Lefty's version. It is still by far the best. Nobody will ever come close.
@IStoleYourPotatoes - Agree Lefty did it best, disagree with nobody coming close - listen to Jerry Garcia, Tony Rice, David Grisman's version on "the Pizza Tapes".. it is close
@TheGreatGonzoMan You are right, Dave was right to say thanks before the song for having her up there with him, she has got one of the best and unique female voice in country, what harmony, and yeah, what about the close up of her instead of all Matthews, WTF, stupid production people.
I think they both did a great job here, beautiful. Emmylou has a sung a lot of duets with a variety of singers, besides singing on her own albums. Great harmony.
Emmylou Harris is always full of surprise. One best thing about her is her shy appearance instead of her big name in the industry. And she is always the hottest woman.
@tomthefunky this for sure is the wrong place to say that man, dave matthews is one of the most interesting men in show business maybe if you took a little listen to songs such as ants marching, american baby, why i am... just to name a few and maybe your eyes will be opened to the creativity that dave has, or maybe you are just too nieve to perceive and maybe your perception of exciting has been spoiled by the likes of lady gaga or the black eyed peas even
hE IS BOOOOOORING, And question, why he is "whining" while he sings, not in this one, but almost everywhere..He maybe think its cool....well its not... Long live johnny cash, and emmylou....And i hate lady gaga, blaa blaa......Johnny cash and dave ...u should spell their name in same day ... Cash example was in other league .Cant help it, tried to listen but i caaaant...in every live song, dave just moans and aaargh! Look examp. lennon tribute... OMG!!!
@mynthon11 i personally dont like the lennon tribute myself but listen to a song like "eh hee" no one but dave has the talent to preform like that and make it enjoyable to the general populace, and i dont think i know what you mean by moaning?
You all are morons. This is NOT Dave Matthews BAND. This is DAVE MATTHEWS and Emmy.
Dave Matthews Band covers it MUCH MUCH MUCH better than this bullshit band put together to cover some Cash tunes. Dave and Emmy are great... I wish it was DMB and Emmy though. :/
wow, this is just awful. DMB may have a talented drummer, but the rythym sets this up miserably, Dave has the most overrated voice in history. the band is the best vocally, the chieftans is the best musically. there are a staggeringly large amount of versions of this song though, enough for anyone to have their favorites.
Oh God - I was afraid of how the Borecore version of this great song would turn out - check out some of the other versions: Lefty Frizell, JC, Nick Cave - and forget you ever heard this one. I like Emmylou Harris' part though.
But she is a superb accompanist, which is why so many have collaborated with her (everyone from the Chieftains to Knopfler to Dolly to The Band).
This video is a classic example... she complements but does not dominate, her timing is dead-on, her pitch is perfect.
She has been like this for decades, never showy or self-absorbed, just a professional who puts the music & artistry ahead of the performer, including herself.
@Mikeyondadrums, my God - how could she be any more perfect for this song?? Her haunting, melancholy wailing is the soul of the mountains, which is the setting one would imagine for this song.
The First time I heard this song, the late great Chris LeDoux was singing it, after that nothing comes close, not even Emmylou or Mr. Matthews. Sorry.

I think Dave's performance of this song is better than Johnny's & I'm a Cash fan.

I thought this really stunk. or rather Dave Mathews stunk. Emmylou was fine.

Totally agree with you. Matthews sings(?!) like he's reading blank verse. Awful. I think Emmylou must have done performed with him for a dare!!

You all are morons. This is NOT Dave Matthews BAND. This is DAVE MATTHEWS and Emmy.
Dave Matthews Band covers it MUCH MUCH MUCH better than this bullshit band put together to cover some Cash tunes. Dave and Emmy are great... I wish it was DMB and Emmy though. :/

What a lucky prick. Imagine getting a kiss, even a peck on the cheek, from Emmy. Oh, the knees go weak at the thought.

This is bad. I'm was expecting more from DMB.

it's just Dave and Emmylou, no DMB. the rest is just the house band that played with everybody that night.

wow, this is just awful. DMB may have a talented drummer, but the rythym sets this up miserably, Dave has the most overrated voice in history. the band is the best vocally, the chieftans is the best musically. there are a staggeringly large amount of versions of this song though, enough for anyone to have their favorites.

i saw them do this live in 2000 in Antioch, Tennessee, with a light rain and it was haunting.
plus, that isn't Carter Beauford drumming back there in this video.

Could use a little more Emmylou...

Oh God - I was afraid of how the Borecore version of this great song would turn out - check out some of the other versions: Lefty Frizell, JC, Nick Cave - and forget you ever heard this one. I like Emmylou Harris' part though.

Emmylou is an excellent artist in her own right.
But she is a superb accompanist, which is why so many have collaborated with her (everyone from the Chieftains to Knopfler to Dolly to The Band).
This video is a classic example... she complements but does not dominate, her timing is dead-on, her pitch is perfect.
She has been like this for decades, never showy or self-absorbed, just a professional who puts the music & artistry ahead of the performer, including herself.

They're both very talented, I'm just not sure she compliments Dave in this song.

@Mikeyondadrums, my God - how could she be any more perfect for this song?? Her haunting, melancholy wailing is the soul of the mountains, which is the setting one would imagine for this song.

I never said she wasn't good for this song, I just said I don't think she compliments Dave well.
