This isn't a bad cover. It's got a lot of feeling and emotion. I've watched a lot of videos covering this song and this is one of the best. I've always loved this song and am on the loo-out for a perfectly recorded cover that I love. this come really close. Thanks so much for posting. I really enjoyed this.

It's the love child of Janis Joplin and Joe Cocker singing one of my favourite songs. I have heard several versions of this song but I think this might be the only one where the singer sounds as if she's actually lived the hard life of the old woman in the song. Thank you!

[jaywhoper]

its so wonderful .thank you 

[moelement]

she made it her own, instead of copying (the great) bonnie version..nice job!

I think she is good no matter what style she is doing. She can pull off a bluesy pop song as well as pop ballad. I see her bluesy roots in a lot of her work.

I guess you younguns never seen Joe Cocker, Im not sure youd know genius when you have it right in front of ya. Oh well, listen to "last Exit to Eden" no offence ,to each his own

[Deathwysh]

Is she having some sort of fit? Parkinsons's Disease maybe?

Also, someone might want to send her the definition of "poignant", because she doesn't appear to have a clue.

WHAT???

That was perfection, all you critical old school blues dorks!!!

Gawd....it takes a special breed of jealousness to put down that performance!!

If you failed to feel the energy from Marshall's early vocal accomplishment..then you all need to ask the gods above to bless y'all with ears that can hear the power of music...cuz u don't presently possess it!!!

[stevewheels123]

talk about over doing it,, even the guitar is stupid for such an emotional song. sorry but youve killed it.

[SmileySmilerton]

Way overdone. Nice Joe Cocker impersonation though.
