Ik heb het een aantal jaar geleden opgenomen van 2 meter sessies op tv.

the afghan whigs do a solid cover of this too

maybe he's not as good as Carr, but nevertheless a) he wrote the tune and b) his voice is gorgeous too - we should stop always comparing one with the other, always telling others that this or that version is the definite one - there are so many brilliant musicians offering differing versions, all we have to do is listen and enjoy!

[MrRazorblade999]

Pretty good but he is no James Carr

[marbleflat]

Pure Americana; country, soul, gospel are all in there. Outstanding.

Zij hebben dit ook gedaan bij Jools Holland (BBC). Vergeet ook niet de fraaie uitvoeringen van Ry Cooder, ook in het bijzonder Ry Cooder live bij de BBC.

@RasMajnouni Actually, while Gram and Emmylou probably did the song together, I think the real alt.country standard of the song was Gram with the Flying Burrito Band, on the incredible "Gilded Palace of Sin" album. Percy Sledge also did a great version. Breathtaking song.

great song . . . check out Elvis Costello's version on The Delivery Man - he does it proud

[braddyboy82]

This is American music.

Gram Parsons RIP and EmmyLou Harris did a great 1973 country cover of this!
