I think there's an urge in every songwriter to turn everything into a country song, and Bill gives in more often then most.

It was always an alt-country song...

So weird seeing Sweeny playing after seeing all those noisey videos, great guy

I really like this version. I came to know the song through the Johnny Cash cover, which I still love. I’ve seen BPB do a lot of other kind of “energized” versions, but this is my favorite of the bunch.

Never in my life have I seen a man that so much needed to learn to play the banjo

What a performer. He gives 100% into everything he does. Hope to see him perform live someday.

Sam Vile Cool beans. Glad you reminded me of this (I'd moved on to less important things). I'm going to root around the intertubes and see if anything exists. I can see that about the stache. lol. I'm pretty much in the same boat with him.

I was a bit late for Superwolf the first time round (probably heard it a year or 2 after release) but I literally don't know how I missed this show! Fingers crossed I get to see them when/if they tour the new album...

fucking terrible! how could he make the original version so blooby beautiful and then trash it like this. an insult to those of us who love the original.

@graemejarvie9632 Жыл бұрын

This is probably still my favourite online comment. Reeks of entitlement. How dare the person who wrote the song choose to song it in a different way, especially a way I don't quite like.

@FungusMossGnosis 7 жыл бұрын

Try the original album version. I feel that's the definitive one. Oldham sped it up in later versions (like this one) and it doesn't have the same impact. But his original is even better than Cash's excellent take.

Performing is the guy who wrote the song, so I give the edge to the author.

he's just been singing it for 30 years so he had to switch it up for himself. :)
