Daryll Hall has been quoted as saying that Jimmy's version is the best he's ever heard. Now THAT'S a compliment folks.

To compare a live version to a studio is eroneous, first off you get as many takes as you need, then you can punch in parts, after wich the song gets post production and mastering. In a controlled studio you dont play a guitar it will bleed into the vocal. His guitar on this is excellent using alot of techniques and advanced chordings, and he still manages a good vocal in only one take. So to compare it to studio versions and not recognize the quality is pretty shallow minded.

@wrekd1 most country singers dont write there own stuff. Its obvious he has the chops, on guitar and vocals What do you want, every country singer to fit into a certain plastic mold.

This rendition is just so unreal. 2003, I was driving through Maine with the radio on. He was performing this song live in the station studio, much like what's seen in this video. I was floored (and when it comes to music, I'm pretty damn jaded). What makes this just so special is that his vocals are 10/10, but the guitar accompaniment is pretty dynamic- beyond simple 'strumming'. Put it all together and you get this gem. Find the Yahoo Exclusive video of him doing this for an even better cut.
