Not bad, but I'd like to hear James McMurtry doing this track, his baritone might fit better.

Fewer Tom Waits covers. More Tom Waits.

 Is there any influence in music and design? John Hiatt's expression is what he feels as he hears this. |

John Hammond is a legend as is Tom Waits. This is a fantastic album that I can highly recommened if you like the genre and the Artists.

I PSD'd out of here—only to be dumped back into after the "something different" ended. I wasn't happy about it.

Totally agree. At first it was challenging for me to get into, then it REALLY grew on me. Thumbs up! |

You're welcome, Cy. I learned a bit about Robert Johnson's life from the documentary. The information makes his music all the more meaningful and enjoyable. |

Nice bluesy guitar, but the song is just too monotonous for me.
Apparently one needs to get behind the mule.

I still prefer the Waits original, but Hammond Jr. does better Tom covers than most do. Having Larry Taylor and other Waits collaborators on hand doesn't hurt.

Never mind.
I do love this song, though...

The John Hammond who stared Dylan's carreer was John Hammond Sr., his father.

The guy who "discovered" Dylan was John Hammond, Sr. This is his son, John Hammond, Jr. Nice bio on AllMusic: http://www.allmusic.com/artist/john-hammond-jr-p358/biography |

Haven't heard this in a looooong time, thanks.
For the nay-sayers out there, the album was produced by Tom Waits. Really good collection of Tom Waits songs done by a different artist.
