I grew up with the Lefty Frizzell version of this song and i still feel that version captures the feel of this song the best. When I decided to record this song myself I was amazed at how many people have recorded it including Mike Nesmith from the Monkees. I actually liked his version very much. Stop by and check out my attempt at singing this great old ballad sometime.

@BlakiepooTube I'd like to hear those opinions backed up with 'why' someone thinks one version is better than another--then it would be a discussion, not a disagreement?

All versions of Long Black Veil owe a debt to Left Frizzell.

It was written in 1958 or 1959 by Danny Dill with music by Marijohn Wilkin. First recorded by Lefty Frizell and later covered by many, many artists.

Very good Cover!!!!

Actually, Lefty Frizzell's version is the best, and the original. Eff Dave Matthew's Band.

Any Bluegrass version is better than any I have heard here.



Can't people just enjoy the songs at youtube without complaining about who is better? Can't you just appreciate free good music streamed into your house?
