That whole record is amazing, the Five Years is killer.

My favorite Margo story-at a small club show in West Chester Pa in the early 90's a buddy and myself were in the merch line talking to Margo, and he says, tongue in cheek, "Trinity Sessions changed my life". Margo burst out laughing and said "Mine too!".
Damn near totaled my m5 in freak snow shower on the way home on the Pa tpk.

Gordon Lightfoot was one of the finest folk song writers of my life, but to my ears his singing was lifeless and boring. Tony Rice often did fantastic covers of his songs.

More Grateful Dead - another cover of a GD cover.

Other than just about any cover of just about any Bob Dylan song, I think Elephant Revival did a great job with this. Plus, Bonnie is cuter than a speckled pup.

I would like to hear some more of Rice's covers, thanks for mentioning him. I think he missed the mark with this one though. Ten Degrees and Getting Colder is a melancholy song about a guy down on his luck. This upbeat, plinking banjo music just doesn't fit the lyrics.

Here's another Gordon Lightfoot cover by Tony Rice (and a stellar band that includes Jerry Douglas and Bela Fleck)

It's definitely an upbeat take on this song.

What I have learned from this thread and the "What Are You Listening To Today" thread is that I don't have any business in either thread.

Ok, one more:)

The original was from 1844, so yeah, this is a lot better.

I've NEVER heard a good cover of Have a Cigar until today. Her voice is perfect for that arrangement. Chapeau!
