Look up the Brothers of a Feather version as well. A monster.
This version is stunning.
Nice nod to her daughter (I presume) during the intro.

Thank you so much for posting. I have seen CJ many times and this is my favorite cover.
I requested it back at a 2007 concert and Margo played it for me -- even mentioned my name. What an angel. I always assumed it was a Townes Van Zandt song, but thanks for clearing that up. Be well.

It IS beautiful, isn't it?
I got to meet Margo in Rochester, NY after this show.. she came out after the concert and mingled. They are an extremely gifted group of musicians.

Thanks for uploading this. A very good cover by an excellent band. I know this song from Tom Rush's version (also available here) from...1970! It did, and does, cut like a knife. It's worth hearing both versions, as both are excellent (and a lot of us "grew up", so to speak) with Tom's. I'm saving this one to favorites, too.

Thanks. They're fantastic. And what a song... My regards to Tom Rush. We Saw them in Toronto last year. Same weekend I was introduced to the Sadies.
