I disagree with Darowyn, I think Ochs did a great job, and, the first time I heard it, I thought it was one of the most dramatic pieces of folkie music I'd heard in my life. Ochs, of course, cuts out quite a bit of the desciptive passages ( which are a bit too flowery, anyway), and all reference to the chap who tells the red coats where to find the highwayman - but his inclusion is not necessary to the basic drama.
