Thread Name: Lyr Add: Careless Love (various versions)
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Careless Love (various versions)
Not exactly the difference you're looking for, but the Merlefest album from a couple years ago (2013-2014 I think) had Careless Love on it and if you downloaded it to your computer, the title went in as "Carless" Love, which I've always found to be a little ironic given the title of the song.

Answering your question, Western Trails, I can definitely hear the similarities, but a lot of old songs (don't even have to be old, per se) are close in rhythm and words. As Coe points out, "I'm thinking tonight of my blue eyes concerning the great speckled bird. I didn't know god made honky-tonk angels and went back to the wild side of life"
