Alright... So I've dingwopped my version here because I couldn't find my SD card... and I had to do two takes to get the whole song... so I apologize for that.... anyway...
I always thought this was a great song... sad but captured the ordinary southern man's life during the Civil War...
but I also thought the Band, especially the Last Waltz version, was a bit too garnished if ya know what I mean... I always thought this would be a much more dramatic tune if stripped down, slowed down and injected with a bit more "Virgil Cane-ness"... do you dig it??
Oh, and I'm having some winter neck/fret issues with the Martin... you'll hear the buzz here and there... needs a tune up at the shop for sure... please excuse that and the dog bark or two! And the hat... wearing that just because it's -5 at my house right now....
Anyway... here is my version(s)....

Dig the snoop "layed back" approach. Definately a better song stripped down in my opinion. I hear a dog tail wavin in the back ground and it sounds like...Better left un said. Anyway, dig it!
