Lame. So lame. Natalie Merchant does better with her own material, but to try to take on Jackson Browne's stuff is pure musical suicide.
Gregg Allman's rendition was achingly-poignant. Very few people can do covers of JB's stuff effectively (well, okay - maybe the Eagles.)
Not liking this version at all.

That joke never gets old!
No, wait, yes it does. In fact, it's on life support, buzzards are circling it, and Anna Nicole Smith is trying to marry it. |

Yes, good job on this song and an excellent album. Would like to hear some Tom Rush on RP. |

This is not a bad cover, but prefer JB. Is that on RP playlist?
EDIT: I checked, and it is; but I have not heard it.

For my money, Pantera's version tops them all....

I'd only heard Jackson Browne's version of this one, and although this one is OK, I like Jackson's better. (Never have heard the Gregg Allman version, and would have never knows that he and JB were roomies early on.)

i was curious if Nico came before Natalie Merchant on this one. Interestingly, the cd listed above (In My Tribe - 10,000 Maniacs) shows a release date identical to Nico - Chelsea Girl (October 25, 1990). Weird.

Katie and Spliff, you KNOW some stuff. Thanks for the info! Guess in 1973, I was so busy DROOLING over Jackson, that I hadn't noticed Gregg's solo album cover of this song, though I like Gregg, too.

Covered These Days on first solo album. JB & Gregg were roomates in LA in the early days.

Jackson would be justified in smacking Natalie around for this.
