Subject: RE: Correction: Joy of Living (Ewan MacColl)
On the whole I'm not too taken with Ewan as a singer. I've got Roy Bailey's and Geordie McIntyre's version - both singers I like enormously - I've heard Bobby Watt from Canada sing it live. But I must say none of these versions come up to Ewan's own utterly simple and stark rendition of the song. I consider it his masterpiece.
