lolwut, this original is so much better that Bird's imo.
The string intro of his is beautiful, but once the song kicks in, i think this version blows it out the water.
-
@veggiesoup I agree. He takes what is already a really fine song, and turns it into something breathtakingly sad and beautiful.

I love the Handsome Family for creating this song- the words are so beautiful- but I find I like Andrew Bird's voice and style a bit better. Either way, they joined together to make something fantastic in the cover, and I will always respect and admire the original.
-
Just found out about the Bird cover. I do think this one would be better without any rhythm.

I understand that the "Giant of Illinois" is Robert Wadlow, but is the boy with a club foot an historical figure as well?
-
@terr0rkitten no doubt ;)

@Shanniquitie Just listened to the Andrew Bird version - it is a fine version, but, this will always be the one.

It's funny, but Andrew Bird's cover is so remarkably better than this original.

I am a fan of Andrew Bird and their version of this track, however, I have to disagree with you. Thanks for listening. You need never listen to this again!
