Thank you for filing in my failed memory! I've always loved Tracy's beautiful rendition of this song. And now I've heard Steve Young's original and it truly lovely as well.Tareenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6232479.post-14159293209920529412020-07-15T06:07:34.300-05:002020-07-15T06:07:34.300-05:00I like Joan Baez, but I think her problem was that...I like Joan Baez, but I think her problem was that she was really an opera singer. Taking her voice and vocal stylings to folk, pop, rock was always going to be a weird marriage.Zirchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01549086611432205501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6232479.post-38152171018153089272020-05-06T22:15:35.128-05:002020-05-06T22:15:35.128-05:00Eddy Arnold did a pretty faithful cover in 1970 on...Eddy Arnold did a pretty faithful cover in 1970 on his Standing Alone album. A more involved arrangement with greater crescendo in the middle.

Rita's version was just too slow for me to love and the Ian Matthews version seems to hit the sweet spot for me. I do really like the Eagles version and I love knowing where the original came from.

That alone makes it for me a foot drag instead of a waltz, and the Eagles version seems just a showcase for show-offy harmonization.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6232479.post-71379848328906481442014-05-26T22:02:36.850-05:002014-05-26T22:02:36.850-05:00Thank you for this lovely review of many interpret...Thank you for this lovely review of many interpretations of a great classic song.<br /><br />I would like to add Tracy Nelson and Mother Earth's rendition (1971) as well--this is the version that I knew first and still love. But Rita Coolidge's is awesome; thanks again for that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
