I love Ollabelle...the new album is great, too. Would be good to hear some cuts from it.

This rendition makes for a fairly non-objectionable song...
But Bruce's simply whips this version like there's a woodshed involved.

I just saw them perform in Woodstock. Not overly impressed.
They were a good backup for Phoebe Snow and Donald Fagan that night though.

The Cockburn version is still one of my personal top 50 and makes it worth to buy the CD

Not bad... but Bruce makes the song his own.

Leslie wrote:I much prefer the original Bruce Cockburn version. It doesn't have as much energy as Bruce's version, but it's okay. I agree! Bruce's version (which is in the RP library also -- YES!!!  ) of Blind Willie's song is much more engaging. This is a 5, Bruce's is a 10. |

This sounds good. But I saw them in 2004 as part of some big bluegrass extravaganza, and the folks I was with agreed -- not overwhelming live.

I think Paste rules. Aggressive music hunters - that's their job. |

I like this. Not pushy, but extremely musical and raw. Beautiful slide.

Try the original (relatively speaking) by Blind Willie Johnson - Cockburn is good, but not quite Willie. And Ollabelle is alright, just a little overproduced.

I'm casting my vote for the Cockburn version. This version is too... easy listening.
