What a great track! Downloaded it and upon first listen knew that I loved it. Hard to go wrong when covering such a great song by Townes Van Zandt.
This song was so well done, that it got me to seek out and listen to Townes Van Zandt, and though I was familiar with the name I had not listened to his music before.
Needless to say, I've become an instant fan of Townes' music and I have the Lemonheads to thank for this.

This isn't a bad cover of the Townes song. The original is better, but if this song gets people to investigate the original, then it's job is done.

This is a classic Townes Van Zandt song. Townes was one of the, if not THE, best songwriters ever. That said, the Lemonheads do a pretty good job with this song and if it turns a few more people onto the late, great Townes Van Zandt, that's all that really matters.

I was listening to the song at work and got distracted about half way through. I didn't realize I hadn't finished the song until later in the day and didn't have any desire to finish it. There's nothing really wrong with the song, I just didn't find anything in the lyrics or the melody that kept my attention.
However, I came back later and started listening to it again and it really grows on you. I had it as a repeat in my play list for a couple weeks after that. I guess you just need to be in the right mood or listen to it enough that it grows on you, but it's a pleasant song.
 Fine, I suppose June 23, 2009

It is a perfectly fine cover that brings nothing new to the song. To be fair, I haven't heard anything by the lemonheads since the 90's - and I only downloaded this to see if it was in fact a cover of the the song I rather like. In the end, though it is fair, I don't know why you'd listen to this version over Townes Van Zandt's original.
