Always loved this. Love REMs version. The video and the sentiment are very much relevant in current Covid times.

Lucinda Williams - Sweet Old World..............................it just breaks your heart.
Strangely I just downloaded this Tom Russell album today. Not played it yet. Have a few albums by him. Superb.
If you like Iris Dement, then you need to hear this guy singing with her.
Almost as good as her and Prine.
Parsons death was not suicide but accidental drug overdose. He had split from Emmylou by then and had restarted a relationship with his old high school girfriend Margaret Fisher. Although I like both version Lucinda Williams is more fragile and the better one.I love Emmylou Harris's version of this, but then her voice has always sent shivers down me. Sung with even more feeling as it was obviously directed to her lover Gram Parsons who took his own life. I can't listen without shedding a tear.
Yes it is and as you say everyone has a favourite. Thanks for posting it.I thought there was some dispute over Parson's death I guess only he knows. There are so many factors in determining one's preferred version of any song that you can't say one is better than another. It's a great song, period.
