Knowing that and hearing the utter cogency of his lyrics and the indict-us-all nature of the message makes the original something more than just a successful work of popular music. Which it is to the nth-degree. I never knew this. Fateful and tragic. |

| Would love to hear Lindsey Buckingham's version. |
| Kottke is a great musician but I can't see that this adds at all to the song's legacy...sort of a why bother cover to me. |

| uber cool take on Peter Green's masterpiece... be amazing if those two ever bumped into each other. |
| More Kottke magic. What a great spin on this song! |
| Lindsey Buckingham rocks this. |

| Not bad, prefer the original from Mick and band! |
| Hmmm.... Fleetwood Mac to Fleetwood Mac cover....nice. |
| Great cover to play - had never heard it. More fun guitar work than the Fleetwood Mac/Peter Green days original. |
