This kinda reminds me of Reckless Kelly.

Great to know who actually wrote this song! Always loved the Emmylou version.

Sorry, neither the original post to which you are responding nor your silly assumptions about the entire Universe, which appear to be based on a series of texts that you were taught to believe by people who were themselves taught, ad infinitum (or at least for a couple thousand years) the same things, have any bearing on the musical qualities of this piece. And descended from dinosaur poop? I suggest that we carry within ourselves carbon and some other elements that were once in the form of dinosaur poop, but why is this not something to celebrate and marvel at, instead of another weak effort to put down a theory that you do not appear to actually understand?

It must be truly terrible to live life carrying such a large load of negativity.  You can live as an atheist but no one dies an atheist..."Oh God I don't want to die ....Please God give me one more chance".

Of course, if you REALLY believe in evolution and think that some form of God or diety or such doesn't exist then I guess anniebear has reason to be so negative ............ I'd be negative too if I thought I had descended from a pile of dinosaur poop.

What I love about this song is how it makes everything that comes before and after it sound so much better!

Mark Heard was amazing, still miss him. Love Julie's voice, although I'm not sure I love this song... yet.

Never heard her before but she's got a fascinating voice! good song! Stylistically seems similar to the Wailin Jennys to me.

I am a fan of Julie's, but her husband Buddy is a true Renaissance man! Damn, he's great!

fine

For those who do not know this, Julie wrote this song after her good friend Mark Heard died, in August of 1992. She sang duets and backup on a few of his last albums.

There is some very nice stuff on both sides of the current Crusade. Expand your mind, relax, and stop wasting your life hating abstract concepts.

I give this one an 8 just because it's an 8.  Not because I like or hate the singer, the songwriter, or some moron spouting religion for money on late night TV.

I was gonna go into a big longwinded thing about the difference between "art" and "propaganda" but the line isn't as clear as you might think.

Suffice it to say that I prefer to view this tune as art, and I think it totally rocks.  10.

didn't this song/version used to be the one with emmylou singing backup...when did it switch over to julie/buddy?  both versions are nice, actually, just wondering.

Baby twang voice alert! Baby twang voice alert! Seven. . .

I just can never understand the fascination with singing through the nose.  whiny and irritating. 

I have had this cd on my wish list for so long ... think it's time to push it to the top of the list!

This is great, fresh, beautiful harmonies, Love her voice

Ah that's better, a little country twang to change things up. Really, country can be quite good, as well real blues. Bill if you listening, a bit more blues would good, some live Luther Allison would hit the spot.
