[diktatorship]

without question the finest version of this song and one that surely will never be bettered. Gram Parsons at the peak of his powers and stamps his charisma all over it.

[ziffels]

Gram, like Ray Charles, always understood that country and soul were two sides of the same coin. Remarkable song.

[OrisLover]

A really cool band....

[TheKalen486]

@ziffels gram made country-rock sexy

[TheDonpedrossy]

@swiggy58a I must agree. I've listened to Carr's, Richard and Linda Thompson's (which is also awesome!), and Gram's and have to agree that Ry's version on 1977 BBC-TV is beyond amazing! His guitar solo gave me goose bumps!! I do love Gram and I love his version too,,,but as I see it (and hear it), Ry and The Chicken Skin Revue has the superior version.

@swiggy58a

agreed

@swiggy58a Ry's instrumental version on Boomer's Story is also sublime

[JHelak]

Wonderful blue-eyed soul. The last half of this song always reminded me of a "wall of sound" ala Phil Spector. Great story line too. The Burritos at their very soulful best.

@diktatorship Hardly "the finest version" of this song. Listen to Ry Cooder and the Chicken Skin Revue" on BBC TV, the Old Grey Whistle Test....1977. The singers are sublime; and Ry turns in one of the great slide guitar solos in History!

@TheGloryOfMan , uh i thin you mean rife, not ripe..a ripe voice makes me think of cheese, spoiled stuff, and fermented things.

[husbandontherun]

Uh, i can think of two better versions of this song... james carr, and richard & linda thompson. i mean i love the gram version. there is nothing more harrowing and crushing as richard and linda in the throes of a failed partnership, yet still, being punished nightly, performing, and singing this song. tension so thick, there is not an object to cut it.
