Robbie Robertson, Levon Helm, Rick Danko, Garth Hudson, & Richard Manuel. It doesn't get much better than this.

Growing up with a father that's a huge Band fan, I've grown up hearing this song and did not find out until I was older that it's not a Band original. I've recently heard the original by Lefty Frizzell. It's great and I can see why people call it a country classic (and I agree it is), but this is still an amazing cover. I always loved how Rick Danco sang it. All in all, The Band nailed it.

And that is why they are called The BAND

So many of their songs have the dust of the past on

Great Album. This is the kind of music bands make. A lost art today. Five guys combining their strengths and weaknesses to make a unique sound only they can make.

This is the best version of this country classic. Cash does it, but this is the best version.

Ten years ago on a cold dark night,
A man killed 'neath the town hall light.
There were few at the scene and they all did agree
That the man who ran looked a lot like me.
Well, the judge said, "Son what is your alibi ?
If you were somewhere else, then you won't have to die."
I spoke not a word, though it meant my life,
I had been in the arms of my best friend's wife.
She walks these hills in a long black veil.
She visits my grave where the night winds wail.
Nobody knows, nobody sees,
Nobody knows but me.
Well, the scaffold is high and eternity's near
She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear.
But sometimes at night when the cold winds moan
In a long black veil, Lord, she cries all o'er my bones.
She walks these hills in a long black veil.
And visits my grave when the night winds wail.
Nobody knows, nobody sees,
Nobody knows but me.
Nobody knows, nobody sees,
Nobody knows but me.

Makes me think of Tom Dula "Tom Dooley". The words may sound cinematic-melodramatic to some, but the truth is tragedies like this happened. Tom Dula, standing at the gallows, said "people, take a look at this hand. I never touched a hair on that woman's head." Beautifully sung, Rick. Thank you.
