No one can sing this like Emmylou. I love and remember this song so well. Her voice is fabulous and the cords she can reach unsurpassable.

A gorgeous version of the haunting James Taylor song. It's also been recorded beautifully by Bette Midler and Jennifer Warnes.

To me, Emmylou is a living legend. Who would have a voice so sweet and pure. To sing the way she does, to have the music arranged the way it should be and to pick out and search for songs that only she can do them best take an angel like her.

It doesn't get much better than this. I think of it more universal than country music. Thanks Emmylou!

This really is one of her best if not the best compilations she's ever recorded. And I don't like country music.

"So may I work the mill just as long as I am able, and never meet the man whose name is on the label..." For some reason, that line tears me up inside every time I hear it. Pure poetry, and heartbreaking...

I'm not looking for a beating here but have you heard Bruce Springsteens version? Its on here, give it a shot. Bruces version was the 1st version that I got to hear.

The show was also called "Working" based on the Studs Terket book of the same name. JT wrote it for a Broadway show that closed after a couple of weeks. He recorded it on his album Flag in the late 1970s.

JT's greatness is that he wrote something in 1979 that sounds like a traditional folk song right out of the Southern Harmony
