WillieO:

"The Night They Drove" has always driven me up a wall, not because it isn't sound rhythmically and easy to sing along to but because it is so full of anachronisms and they jar loudly to any ear that knows the actual songs of the era. The styling just does not capture the sense of language of the South, especially not the language of the South at the end of the Civil War; its pretense shows through, as a result, and it generates swaths of cognitive dissonance. I was actually disappointed in Joanie for promulgating it. It just rings false.

Joan herself, well, she's just a sweetie.
