What do you do when you have two versions of a gorgeous song, each of which you love?
Well, if you have your own darn blog, you post ’em both.

Fabulous! Emmylou Harris can move an audience singing the phone book. The Gillian Welch video inspires those of us with a religiosity deficiency to revere what Jesus was really saying.
You have good tastes in music.
love traditional music. My sister is a music pro – see here on banjo
Good stuff.
I’ll have to look for more Gillian Welch. I’m not big on country, but she seems more folk singerish which I like.
Another group of folk-style songs I liked were the ones put out by Natalie Merchant on her CD, The Coal Miner’s Daughter. She takes a lot of the old folk songs and brings them back to a new audience (I very much liked her previous CDs as well). Her newest one takes a collection of children’s stories, poems from the 1800s and puts them to music. Quirky, interesting, good melodies–pretty much anything by Natalie Merchant I like (I like the live versions of those songs that she gives on youtube over the versions she has on her CD).
Incidentally, on the Gillian Welch video I’m getting ads promoting Inhofe’s book. :-))
The Natalie Merchant CD is The House Carpenter’s Daughter
*face-palm*
Quite right, susan05.
sigh.
