Am I the only one that thinks it sound wayyy overboard?

I love Willie, but I feel like I can barely hear him through the loud, trodding band that doesn't seem particularly interested in giving him--or the song--a chance to breathe. It rather reminds me of Judy Collins "Both Sides Now," but not nearly as pleasant. Both take a song that's originally a very intimate piece between songwriter and instrument, add eight or nine additional tracks and a drum beat. Does that make the song better?

I suppose I'm just used to a far more sparse and gentle Songbird. I'll give it another listen, I guess.
