I actually think Eva Cassidy's version tops the original...by a slim margin.

C'mon, you just don't wanna say anything nice about Rumours.

Have you HEARD Eva Cassidy's version??

I LIKED Rumours until around 1983. There. Happy?

It's definitely a close call as to which I prefer. The Eva Cassidy version is by far the more legendary one. Before I got into Fleetwood Mac I didn't even know it was a Mac song. Both are fantastic

I don't recall ever hearing Eva Cassidy's version. Can I hear it online anywhere?

I love Willie. I can hear this version in my head, though I've never heard it...his singing doesn't really change from song to song.

I love it! Thanks for posting that. Poncho and Lefty sounds great too. It's an old fav of mine.

I'll be buying it cos, well it's Willie and my man Ryan! But the Songbird cover is a bonus.

I'm spreading the word over here. I hope this album is gonna find a big audience.
