Anyone who likes this song should check out The White Buffalo version - stripped down, no fluff - just the song and Jake Smith's haunting voice - The way this song should be played like an old Bard...

I heard the Iced Earth version first and due to my own personal tastes I like that version better, but this one is really good too!

Wesley Smith

I never knew about this. I thought the song was originally performed by johnny Cash and friends

This music really gilds the truffle.

Gotta admit confusion at those who posted saying Webb's version of his own song is too dramatic, and that it doesn't fair well in comparison to the version by The Highwaymen. Since The Highwaymen includes the voices of Johnny-friggin-Cash, Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings (Kristofferson's a genius, but nobody's vocalist), it's only natural that their voices would outclass Webb's. But the dramatic music Webb uses seems natural, especially given that he doesn't have the voices of Cash and Nelson accompanying him, and...especially since the song is about Reincarnation. I mean: the LYRICS are melodramatic, why shouldn't the music be dramatic as well?Also, this was written and recorded during the '60s, when Webb was composing songs like "Up, Up and Away", "By the Time I Get to Phoenix" and "MacArthur Park": three tunes that could NOT be more different. But they all came from the same guy. So it makes sense that Webb's version of "Highwayman" would have a bit of folk/country as well as a bit of pop in the rendition.

One of the great songwriters of our time proving it.

The version by the Highwaymen doesn't have all the fanfare with it...and you're right, it's better off without it.

Stunning

What an extraordinary song. He was never a great singer, but...i believe him. I'd still like to hear this done without all the fanfare. I weep in the first verse, it is regal and powerful in the first line.. the song, the human experience, h e conveys it with his intention... Nice job Mr Webb
