Forgive me for stating the obvious but age and ill health has not been kind to Tim Hart. He's clearly on form here, but less evident is Tim's outstanding breadth of knowledge of music and musicianship. From a young age he was highly skilled on many instruments as well as vocal, solo and harmony. As I understand, Tim died the following year, or thereabouts, leaving an irreplaceable loss. The perfect musical combination of Tim and Maddy as a duo represent the pinnacle of achievement in our British folk music tradition. Their work together has never been surpassed, leaving us a legacy of hope and joy for the simplicity of British traditional music for those who choose to follow.

The song of the century

Truly 2 great Artist doing justice to maybe the song of the Century written in.30 min by the greatest of all songwrighterI s

I can remember a Roy Harper gig at the Leadmill, Sheffield in the mid 1980s. He wasn't 'pretend angry' then at Dylan's borrowing in connection with "Girl From The North Country", he was proper angry. He has mellowed with age if this clip is anything to go by.

A beautiful song beautifully sung.

I will never tire of Maddy's voice.

Awesome 👍

so good on all levels

1957 and there is Roy marching up and down with the rest of us RAF recruits. Then he decides that is not the life for him and is gone. British military loss is British music's gain. You did it Roy.

I just listened to this it never hit me me more deeply god bless Roy welcome to the new world

Very beautiful interpretation, love it!! What a pleasing finding!!!

Such an amazing gift to the world you are! Have always loved you with steeleye span! Thanks for all the Amazing Music you bring

Truth is Roy that you believed that you wrote it. That doesn’t detract from a great version of a classic Dylan song.

You didn't steal it man. You did a poor cover.

Fab performance

very nice--------------but best ever was Cyril Tawney who wrote it

It's ok...he missed most all of th very important minor chords...

Absolutely brilliant 👏👏👏👏👏🇬🇧🇬🇧🤮

Lovely ! Thank you.

Sorry the day I was married and sorry the day I was wed And it's oh if I only had tarried when I to the altar was led Young William sure there's no pleasing for let women do what they can It's always your heart they'll be teasing for that is the way of a man When I was a young lass I was bonny, had silks and bright jewels to wear And red were my cheeks like a berry and me heart it was free from all care Silks now I have none for me wearing me jewels have all gone away And surely this life there's no bearing I'm as pale as a primrose today Think pretty maids ere you marry Stand fast by your sweet liberty And as long as you can you must tarry and not be lamenting like me Sorry the day I was married and sorry the day I was wed And it's oh if I only had tarried when I to the altar was led

peodo

Silly intro... nice performance

Dylan and cash far better

Lovely to hear Maddy's voice! one of the great voices of her generation, and a wonderful performance of a classic song. True folk music!

He was right originally; this is an old English folk song. Why play a tribute to the man who stole it and called it his own? I like Dylan's version much better by the way. Pete Townshend's is the best though.

One of many GREAT covers, thanks!

What a wondrous lady

Better version than many of Bob’s

London Barbican

Beautiful

I was there

Pete Townshend has been playing this song on his rare solo shows and said, he copied his version from Roy Harper.

あのZepのジミーペイジがわざわざ自らのアルバムに　Roy Harper の　タイトルを付けて曲を作るくらいだから　とてつもない　大物なんだ　この人

There's another verse that's not in their version: There was a time When my heart was free Like a floating spar Upon the sea But now that spar Is cast ashore It comes to rest At my true love's door It's one more day on the Grey Funnel Line

This is a fine interpretation of Dylan's great song. I've listened to countless versions and find myself once again returning to the original as my preference. With the exception of John' Cale's punch in the gut rendition of Leonard Cohen's, "Hallelujah," I usually find that to be the case with most music I hear. I think what I like best about Bob's performance of this song is his simple yet profoundly mournful repeated focus on lost "feelings of true love." Just like in Gordon Lightfoot's, "If you could read my mind" the loss of love is exceedingly devastating, utterly heartbreaking, with mystery in both how it arrives and departs. Dylan's words convey such meaning, his glaring vocal limitations become of little consequence. Others (Lennon, McCartney, Springsteen, Townsend, Jagger, Cohen, Mitchell, Simon, Young, Bowie, Marley) may approach Dylan with their songwriting proficiency, but no one actually reaches him, let alone surpasses him. I think he truly is the greatest writer and composer the world has ever known...

No just Roy Harper! Excuse me!

Joe cocker and Kris Kristofferson?

Beautiful heartfelt rendition from maddy, lovely lady

This song has a medieval period theme to it, the same as “If I were a Carpenter.”

This is precious!

I’ll not hold this performance against him.

Pete Townshend brought me here, I wish that he didn't. Though it is better than I could ever dream of playing. This version was, lackluster.....at best .This song requires heart . just my opinion, what you say?

what a voice, omg

Two of traditional music's most accomplished vocalists, together or with other bands.....they're incredible

There’s not many moments that make me feel happy to exist. A few minutes can make it seem totally worthwhile

brilliant..as always

I like David Mallets' version of this song.

This is not a Dylan tribute. The song is originally a traditional folk song approriated by Dylan and sold as his own.

I really can't understand these people who put thumbs down on things like this. Fucking weird.

I'm addicted to modern arrangements of ages old folk tunes from the British Isles, many became Appalachian "mountain" music classics.....see Steeleye Span and Fairport Convention in particular, if you're interested
