One man's meat. . .But rather than point out where I disagree with some of the previous submissions I'll throw out two of my own - and then you can throw me out with 'em. One is a major dislike, the other a minor gripe.

The major one is Joan Baez' version of "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down". What a horrible reading (or misreading) of the song! Not that I think she's ever learned how to sing with that beautiful voice of hers. . .

The minor one is Steve Goodman's version of "Jazzman" on his first LP. It's a great song that he does little with and that I don't feel has ever gotten its due. I blame it on the producer, who I believe was Kris Kristofferson.

The song is too fast ("peppy" is the word that comes to mind) for Steve to really dig into, as he does on other blues tunes. Much of the production on that album is horribly dated. I'd love to hear Steve sing those songs again; that would mean he'd still be alive. . .
