Hornsby's piano work in the cover is just amazing. The ending of the song is just sublime.

You are not voting for me. You are voting for a great piece of music. I just happen to be the idiot who submitted it.Radbird wrote:I can’t believe I’m voting for wart.

I had that NGDB album. Listened to it a ton back in the 90s. Some really great versions of country/folk/bluegrass songs on there.

True. That synth does nothing but date the song.
