Hmmm, inoffensive until the bloke joined in at which point it sucks big time . It makes Bryan Adams cheesiest offerings seem palatable from that point on. Early part made me think of Judie Tzuke but not a patch on even her late 80's stuff.
Sorry

Ethereal and beautiful.

Lovely, lovely. I always thought this was The Band's prettiest song, and hearing it sung by a more "refined" female vocalist makes it even prettier. The duet at the end is almost an echo or reminder of the original and would be unnecessary except maybe to break a creeping hint of monotony.

WTF?! What's up with the cheesy dentist office garbage????

Jesus, I think I'm going to vomit. I haven't felt this ill since Peebo Bryson and Celine Dion did Beauty and the Beast.

I have to say Sucko-Barfo to my ears. Sounds like the stuff I hear at my dentist's office, followed by Love Lift Us Up Where We Belong.

Lovely sound. More people need to find out about Dar.

This is attractive to my ears while someone like Ellis Paul only draws winces. Personal preference, I know. Too each his own. I think I feel that I would prefer this a bit more if hers was the only vocal.

One of best songs the Band ever wrote - Richard Manuel penned it, I believe.

Nice version.

This is nice. I think Dar Williams has a sweet quality to her voice.

Hmmm. Sounds like it wouldn't be out of place on a "Twin Peaks" soundtrack.

About as appealing as a polyester pants suit.
Sorry, just not my cuppa I guess. :(

I first heard this song when the ledgendary Vin Sclesa played it on his Saturday evening show on WFUV (Fordham University, Bronx, NY) back in November and I was totally captivated. Vin said he was so moved by hearing the song while driving to the studio that he had to pull the car over...

A cover of the stunning song by The Band, it sounds unlike anything else Dar has ever done before. In fact, her new husband asked her about recording one of his favorite songs and this is the one he chose

Don't look now, but those "Hooters" guys (Bazilian/Hyman) have their hand in this CD as well...

Those guys are all over the place!
