This song,and this version is awesome.Anybody who dosen't think so really doesen't know music.Never heard of the band before,and saw the movie "Elizabethtown".It fit so perfectly in the movie,(along with the rest of the soundtrack)and I had to know who this band was.Isn't that what music is,discovering new music that inspires you,and moves you.Eastmountainsouth did with "Hard Times".I'm bummed I'll never get to see them live.

Dylan does a fine job on this song, but this version is horrible.

The definitive version of this Steven Foster song is by Peter Mulvey, off of "Glencree."
He recorded it live in Ireland, with Juliet Turner. More bottom and a lot more passion. If you ever see this Mulvey album, pick it up, you won't regret it.


I'll have to look that up. The Eastmountainsouth version is the only one I know. I love it.

The good news is that both Peter and Kat are still active musicians, and Peter is on tour!

First time I heard this song was by Jennifer Warnes - must say that I prefer Jennifer's version.

I'm always surprised when I hear a song on RP for the fifth time and realize I haven't yet rated it. This song is wonderful...an 8, easily. It's not just that the harmonies are pleasant, but the melody is fantastic as well.

I used to say, all music has its merits, except country. But RP has proven me wrong on more than one occasion, including this one. Love the harmonizing.

Great song. Covered a few times by Emmylou Harris. IMO, the best is the live version from the "At The Ryman" album.

This song is by Stephen Foster, the great American songwriter from the nineteenth century. He's also the author of Camptown Races and Oh Susannah. I like Willie Nelson's version.


Supposedly, out of the hundreds of songs Foster wrote (including "The Old Folks At Home " and "My Old Kentucky Home"), this one was his favorite.
Quite a haunting tune.
