Exactly one year ago the world became a musically poorer place.
I raise a glass to you, John!

You know I just got the transatlantic sessions dvd for Christmas. If there was nothing else on it apart from this I'd be happy. JM was a true soul brother. And I love this version more than any other.

I reckon Phil does a good job here. It's a trad. song getting the trad. treatment. Nicely restrained from all concerned.

still haunting, still beautiful and a good attempt. But I agree, just John and his guitar please gents.

Oh dear Phil! You normally make that box sound just magical. This is one time you should have just spectated!

This man was a genius, he could sing anything - his voice always sounds like it comes from the very centre of him. He had Soul, big time.

I'd loved to have heard him sing some of the Muckle Sangs, the great Scottish Ballads, but he would never have been constrained by what anyone thought he "should do".

Thanks for the music, John.
