Great song.
I prefer the original version by Jerry Jeff Walker.
It is a more gritty, mournful version and, therefore, more appropriate for the subject matter imho.
 
Speaking of Jerry Jeff Walker along with songwriter Gary P. Nunn....

 
Often, the music which we have come to enjoy now came (evolved?) from those before us.

Mississippi


Chicago


The UK

Great post. Thanks
 
One day the technology may exist to really clean these tracks up. Some of Charley Patton's songs really deserve this treatment.
 
 
I love music that evolved, interesting to see different interpretations of the same piece.

Rimsky Korsikof: Song of India



Tommy Dorsey's version: (I've had musicians listen to this piece and they don't guess that's a trombone") Buddy Rich - drums, Ziggy Elman - trumpet, Tommy Dorsey - trombone

 
More: "songs that evolved"



Love this guitar (Hank Shizzoe), and vocals (Claudia Bettinaglio)



Quite and evolution!
