Several years ago I heard a live solo version (single guitar and male vocal) of the Eric Von Schmidt song "Joshua Gone Barbados". It was played in an uptempo style with great acoustic guitar licks and I have been unable to find out who recorded this version. I know the following artists have recorded the song-most in a slow calypso style (and it is none of them)-Bob Dylan, Eric Von Schmidt, Sally Timms & Jon Langford, Mother Vineyard's Jug Band, Brendan Croker,Johnny Cash and Tom Rush. Does anyone know of any other versions?
