"If you don't like I&S's rendition, listen to Judy Collins'." Just make sure it's from an early recording/or concert.
I saw her on TV not long ago and she had turned it into a "pop" song a la 1950's style with snapping fingers and messed up phrasing.
Took all the life out of it.
Lesson: Leave a good song the heck alone!
Personal note: When I moved to Louisiana in 1971 where I met my eventual wife, I had just turned 24, left the army after my ETS at Fort Carson Colorado in 1969.
I was a "budding" folksinger (Had a group in College and then two while in the army) mostly was doing singles where I could find an audience.
Except for the Rodeo Part (I was a salesman for Radio Shack) it was my story.
Her father, 37 years later, still doesn't like me!
