Nice version but as a matter of taste I still prefer the Axton Rhonstadt one also.
-
Joan Does a pretty good rendition of this song with Hoyt, but Linda Ronstadt's version is exponentially better.

I admit to a prejudice in listening to this, because I have heard the version by Hoyt Axton and Linda Ronstadt from vinyl many times. As has been pointed out, the mix is bad and they are not in a studio. But I also agree that their voices and styles fit poorly in this performance. Both have sung many beautiful duets with others, but not here.

Baez does better when doped up.

I just rediscovered this song a couple of days ago when I heard a version of it on a local folk music show. Does anyone know if Ms. Baez ever did a sols version of this song?
-
linda ronstadt's version is better by a country mile...........
-
Joan baez's voice is not suited for this song to begin with and she completely drowned out Hoyt Axton's voice.
-
Having listened to them again, I agree with you guys. Linda Rondstadt does blend better with Hoyt.
-
Cool thing about Youtube is you can compare diffrent versions of the same song. I think this one is just as good as the Rondstadt duet. Sje and Joan both have great voices.

une fois de plus Joan Baez chante comme une chèvre, ses vocalises ridicules dénaturent cette excellente chanson, pauvre Hoyt Axton, le diva a encore sévi, pareille mésaventure ne lui arrivera pas avec Linda Ronstadt.

Not only does Baez not blend well with Axton, but that danged harmonica drowns out both singers to the point that it's hard to tell what exactly the problem is.
I think that Baez is under rehearsed in this performance, as she seems ill at ease.
Me thinks this was lifted from my old YouTube Channel. It's a nice video.

What you tell isn't right. I became this Video on a CD of a good friend, not from your channel.
