Thread Name: Songs You Love(No Matter Who Sings Them)
Subject: Songs You Love(No Matter Who Sings Them)
This past weekend I picked up a cassette by Jim Reeves mainly because someone I work with raved about him once. He sang a version of Goodnight Irene in his slow crooner style(which I don't normally care for). I found myself singing along and realized it's because I love that song and have liked every version I've heard. Whether it's by the Weavers, Willie Nelson's country style or finger-picked folk-blues style by Mississippi John Hurt. Danny Boy falls into that category with one notable exception--a Carly Simon version I hated. I think I've liked every version of Shenandoah I've heard. Are there songs you love no matter who they're done by?
