What a song. I´ve seen them and forgot it, lost him and found hin now here- what a show- thank you so much!!
-
Denny Laine is not my favorite singer, but I really think he does well here. Obviously several people in the upper echelon felt he was up to snuff. (McCartney, Baker, etc.)

@stevepilley Yes I agree,I fee exactly the same as you about this version
-
Ahhhh! What a find! I had this on a single too, don't know what happened to it. This is the only version of Man Of Constant Sorrow that does anything for me, and this does it all. Thank you so much for posting it.

Why didn't they let Winwood do the singing? With all due respect to the singer here, it was Winwood who already had established by that time his reputation as a brilliant singer with a string of rock hits

@pembridgegardens Denny Laine - one of the greatest singer-guitarist in British Rock. Otherwise why would have Macca hired him to essentially replace John Lennon - and he was with McCartney much longer than Lennon was. How dare you insult one of the greats!

Awesome! Brilliant too!

there's actually an even better version of this song. They went into the studio and recorded it (B side called "doin' it"). And it's fully realized. I lost that single many years back but it was well recorded and brilliantly played. Until someone can dig that up, I shall gladly make do with this version. Thanks for posting.

I clearly remember the critics panning the 45 rpm recording by saying-'The atrocious vocal by Denny Laine' and to this day, I strongly agree!
I have this as a single which was the only semi hit the Air-force had!
