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.
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.
