@gosmj: That makes no sense to me; surely if James Taylor wrote this song for anyone, it would be a woman, seeing as the character of the song is female. Personally I like James's version of his song for his sweet sweet voice. But for the same reason, Bruce's version grates on me. I'd rather hear James, or if not, a woman sing it.

Great version of the song. You can hear the machine grinding way into the forever days of the worker's life.

@onefoot7 Kinda similar to him improvising the F bomb on "Lost In The Flood." Haha

@sweetray52 I would love to know too. This and other songs that were sung in tribute to JT.

I didn't like this the first time I tried to listen to it. But I gave it a second listen and it works. Very well.
One caveat: is the grit appropriate for a female narrator?

wow stunning

THIS IS GREAT!

best version of this JT song
-
anyone know where I can get an mp3 of this version?

I like this version... Sounds like he's merged the original "Millworker" with "Goin' Back"...
this is the most incredible version of this song i've ever heard. dirty. grungy. broken sounding. james taylor is a great songwriter but he wrote this song for someone else: bruce.

C'mon people. Can't the Boss do a tribute to to a song and songwriter he respects without criticism. Great version with a lot of feeling.... Love to hear James T version of the River....MOT
