Good one, Fred!

Still, this is probably the tune that would compel me to buy the CD. So much of this product seemed like a manufactured mismatch, but this is lovely.

This is not actually a Greg Brown song. It's been covered by many folks over the years, but was written by Rowland Salley. Video of him performing it with Chris Issak's band: http://youtu.be/VMZJqsj_hAU

A lovely piece, but incongruous. Kind of hard to hear the same guy who sang that he wanted to be your backdoor man.

One of the funniest posts I've read in a long, long time. I personally love the song, but that is some funny $#!t.

If a song is "good", it will cross generations.

I like this version and Shawn Colvin's but my favorite version is by Chris Smither - deep sigh....

Thank you for articulating my feelings about this whole project.  I just don't get.  And I barely care enough to not care about them.

While I like the new album, I can't help but think it will be hard to ever duplicate whatever magic they had going on here.

Robert and Alison... you're doing it right.

It took me a minute to realize that isn't actually a midget trying to give Robert Plant a reach-around... its just a bass player and some weird long lens perspective trick.

One thing for sure, I would love to go to a Robert Plant & Alison Krauss performance with her.


 
Does she listen to RP in France?....you could listen at the same time on either side of the world.

You can find a snippet of it on his web site. It kicks this version's ass, rolls it up in an old carpet, and tosses it in a river. www.rowlandsalley.com/

Me too.  I used to have this song on vinyl but I'll be darned if I can remeber whose version I had.  It wasn't Prine though.  I'm surprised how many listeners hated this record.  T-Bone knows what he's doing and Allison and robert's voices are magic together IMHO.

Still bummed at missed them at Ravinia last summer.

Love Alison.  Love Zep. Like a lot of Robert Plant's solo stuff....

But this album just doesn't work for me.  {#No}   So I'll change stations for a while.  Headin' over to Blue Ears Blues Radio.

This is an old comment now but thanks for pointing out that Chris Smither did this. I always thought it was John Prine. This Chris Smither stuff is really damn good.

 

Check out the Rory Salley version on Woodstock Mountain Revue, an amazing album!  I thought HE wrote it!
