I don't appreciate any other version of this song at all, I agree with XD,When I saw this dedication concert and I heard this song, I played the hell out of it and learned to play it and told anyone who would listen about it.

springsteen does anything justice, both are great singers in theyre own way. but this was a good rough version of the song i think

While I'm certainly biased being a JT fanatic. However being a fanatic I've heard every subtle reason why Jame's arrangement and performance do this song justice. Jame's voice is sheer perfection and Bruce's raggy vocal performance didn't work here. It bordered on painful. I believe covers should be an interpretation, but this was a mess. This story isn't supposed to be told in a frenzy. I still like the Boss and think it's cool he's covering James Taylor

Havng spent 3 summers working in NC mills; 2 textile; 1 Vicks I can tell you Bruce sings the hard reality. Generations of families stuck in plants with no hope of escape; stoned looks by the afternoon. Vicks bottles clink against bottles in an uproar, where a job was created for a woman on a stool to tap the corner of a paperboard box rather fix the machine. I sat at lunch one day, noticed I was shaking, finished eating, walked out the door & worked construction that summer. Real neck shivers!

Just Bruce, his guitar and harp. Then he nails the song perfectly. If anyone needs proof Bruce is one the greatest ever, this is it.
I'm a huge fan of the James Taylor "Millworker". It's simple and beautiful, and he sings it in a more straightforward, Broadway style. But I nearly fell off the couch when I originally saw this on PBS. Springsteen infuses it with such raw emotion - he takes it to incredible heights. I can't watch it without getting chills. Thank you to Mikaspirit for posting it. p.s. a note re: the translation: "blew in off the water" - ca ne veut pas dire "perdu". Blew in = came in.

Sorry, but I just disagree.
Taylor and Vedder just try to make it too pretty. It comes off as trite and absolutely unmoving.
Springsteen makes it boil with energy.
