Steve Earle is very talented. Interesting article in the WSJ last week about him, too.

How about something from Steve's sister Stacey? It would be infinitely better than this....and I have always loved Emmy Lou.

The longer I listen the lower the rating gets. By the time it's over... a "1".

Sounds like "By the rivers of mamalon, where we sat noun". So affected. I can barely listen to it.

I can't recall when I was more surprised by low ratings. This song is great, I always looked forward to it at the end of the album. I guess too many people have heard too many other versions and can't resist comparing it to them.

Now, I'm a highly un-religious cat myself, but I've always liked the harmonies that tend to go along with this song.
So...you might say, you shun religion, religiously?
Ironic. |

I really like the Sublime version as well!
This seems to be a very popular tune for reggae and reggae influenced bands of all sorts to record.

I like the Bob Marley version better. The Melodians version is the best, however. I have not heard the Jimmy Cliff version.

Didn't know Marley recorded it. Thanks for the history. Ditto your rating on this weak version of a great song.
