I have something for y’all. What do you make of the Zac Brown Band’s version of “The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down?”
You can preview the song on itunes or buy it there, but the videos they have of it on Youtube are bad recordings.
*also you could download it….illegally…….and then immediately delete it.
My initial thoughts are that it is sensational (in the sense that it’s played like most pop/country songs. The song retains a lot of the feeling and it stays true to the original pretty well, and even makes it sound a little better musically, but it seems to loose its edge a bit. I like it a lot, don’t get me wrong, but I’m looking for a version that pulls the stops out musically, yet retains the energy and (anger?) of the original. This might be the closest version I could find. Any help? thoughts?

links are nice. you don’t have any.
A heinous obfuscation of original transcendence. Go to, go to.
