One of my favorite Shawn songs. I wish she'd do another covers album. #Covergirl2

Perfect marriage of voice and guitar.

I adore this song, but my absolute favorite rendition is by Malcombe Holcombe. So heartfelt.

J Burke

This is NOT a "Prine Song" (i.e., by John Prine). it was covered by Prine, but it is written by Rowland Salley. Colvin does a wonderful job with this song IMHO.

@TimMcMullen Hi, Personally I am a pretty shit guitarist/singer!!, I like Grumpy's version cos it's kinda just about in my ability threshold...and key. If you love acoustic, Americana , alt country singer/songwriters whatever the hell you wanna call it, I assume you already know of Gillian Welch and Dave Rawlings if not, TREAT yourself !! If you like Shawn and Allison, Emmy Lou etc. you gotta love Gillian and David sings close harmony n plays a very cool and very different acoustic lead...

@TimMcMullen Of the twenty-five versions that I have, about half are women, and probably 2/3 are using Shawn Colvin's arrangement; clearly, hers is a primary source. But check out Chris Smither's, for example, for a "finger-picker's" variation on the piece.

@longjonwhite Thanks for the tip, Longjon. Grumpy Coyote Tunes does a unique talk/sing version; quite interesting. The thing about the guitar is that it doesn't matter: this song is so good that you can finger pick it, flat pick it, strum it, play it on the banjo, the ukelele, the autoharp, a capella w/ harmonica, faster, slower, it just kills. I haven't recorded this one; I post mostly originals, except for my 3 musical lectures, but I sing this one for fun. Maybe I'll add my version sometime.

oh lordy, i love this so much! Shawn, i could gladly just listen to you play this for the rest of eternity in heaven, if that's the way things turned out to a' bein. but nonetheless completely psyched that i've gotten to hear shawn play this live a coupla times at Tupelo Music Hall in Derry NH and hope i get to again.

@TimMcMullen PS, YES it's a truly fuckin great song an I'm busy trying to nail it on the guitar! But I'm 60, and there's SO MUCH music to hear. I haven't got enough time left to get too hung up on one song! You tube is such an endless source of pleasure and DISTRACTION ! (without looking at any vids of skateboarding dogs or folk falling on their arses) I may never get a chance to actually play MY geetar again! Just found Ray Wylie Hubbard ; WOW ! ! where's HE bin hiding all my long life !??

@TimMcMullen Hi Tim . I stumbled across this great song whilst trying to check out samples of a particular Martin guitar I saw on eBay.... First version I saw was by someone on here who goes by the handle "Grumpy Coyote Tunes". Recommend you track it down and add to your collection. I've heard this, Allison and Rob, J.Prine and Rowly's versions since, but that amateur guy is really good. Kind Regards, Jon

@wolfone30062 I love Shawn Colvin's work as a songwriter and an interpreter, and clearly, her work here is terrific. But just to give perspective on what a truly great song this is, it has at least 25 versions on iTunes. I downloaded all of them—i.e, the 18 I didn't already have—for a "Killing" marathon CD. Every one of them is quite listenable; most of them are extremely good; a number of them, like Shawn's, are extraordinary interpretations. How many songs can come close to that?

Bert Neill

@TimMcMullen Thanks for this info. I went many years thinking it was a Prine song. Must give Rowland his props. I've lived this song and then some.
