  • strange i think he does very well on this song

  • Hoo boy. Don't remember hearing anything come together quite so brilliantly. Dave Matthews' voice here makes me think of a dam that's about to burst, a volcano that's trying to keep from erupting, the above-the-surface 10 percent of an slowly drifting iceberg that would sink a Titanic. Emmylou's voice at its most ethereal, curling like tendrils around the trunk of a giant oak. The whole staging of it too, darkness-of-the-grave lighting, Emmylou's funereal slip of a dress. I was deeply affected.

  • I heard Dave Matthews sing this song at an outdoor concert once years ago. I was completely blown away I'll never forget it. Beautiful beautiful

  • @ollsher he doesn the song way better than nearly everyone ive heard sing in. clean ur ears.

  • This car once belonged to Jon Voight

  • your messed up--take away the voice of emmy lou and it as good---give your head a shake fool

  • i like dave matthews doing it by himself better it just doesnt sound as good with emmylou harris there

  • Very beautiful

  • I love this version of this song...I've never been one for the old style country songs, and while Johnny Cash is undeniably a music legend, his style of music simply isn't to my taste. Dave taking this beautiful song and wrapping the lyrics around a #36/Everyday style tune make it perfect for me. And Emmylou Harris's voice is obviously astounding.

    And to everyone who's arguing: You either like it or you don't. Give your opinion and respect everyone else's.

    Cheers.

  • I saw a version on cmt or something, a few years a ago, where he said that he could never do this song justice, and that he is lucky for the beautiful Emmy to accompany him, and make it the tune it should be.

    Who cares, I've seen people do worse.
