As old as I have become, I am still amazed that people who claim to enjoy music can be as close-minded as some whose opinions are voiced on these pages. When did God die and appoint you as judge?
-
@dunokuba All I will say is that these brothers were well respected and liked by many. And no you don't have to like it. I don't like rap music but I don't call it shit either. Someone must like it because it's still around.
-
Sorry, Chirfu---I misread names on comments, and I dissed you by mistake. I should have focused on Dunokuba instead. My apologies.

Cobain obviously liked this type of music if he did a cover of it. Too bad a lot of his fans can't learn to appreciate the originals like he obviously did. Eh, free country I reckon, no point in fighting over differing musical taste.
-
Sorry to hear that listeners like chirfu have no appreciation for anything different. To me, this version is the best.
-
I find this to be a very interesting arrangement. It is certainly the most rewarding bluegrass version I have come across. :)
-
@chirfu I'm calling it shit because I don't like the way it sounds. To me the music itself outweighs the talent of the individuals performing it.
-
@dunokuba, I listen to ALL types of music. When I hear talent in it's artist, it is music! No matter the label we put on it. Music is music. There are no new ways of making music. Different scales are used, instruments or beats but all music contains those three things no matter how you look at it. The talent into what is being heard is what makes it shit or not. These folks are talented as you mentioned. So calling it shit is far from the truth.
-
@chirfu I think this music is shit. I don't doubt that what they do takes a lot of talent. I just don't like the way it sounds. Would "douchbaggery" be involved when describing me? How the fuck does not liking something make someone a douchebag?
-
Reading through these comments, I find it interesting and sad that music fans are so rigid and so invested of their favorite performers that they can't understand the appeal of other musicians doing the same material. Your loss. All of these versions of the song are great!



@larrykohling I love all the versions. I first heard it through Nirvana, they brought this song alot more of an audience. Then I found Leadbelly. I thank Nirvana for broadening my musical horizon. No put downs anywhere, every version seems like a total different song. Amazing!

RIP Charlie Louvin. From AP: "...Louvin, a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame and Grand Ole Opry, died early Wednesday at his home in Wartrace, about 50 miles southeast of Nashville...."
Thanks for this marvelous post.
