Most that the original was a male vocalist and the cover is done by a female vocalist.

I only recently found "The Broken Circle".

They really need to tour America. I would travel to see them

Have you seen the movie Broken Circle Breakdown? It is where that clip and a lot of other great bluegrass covers are from, heartbreaking movie
