It's not just that they got the harmony and the phrasing....they've got the feeling of the song, the angry, resentful, regretful outpouring of bad love gone wrong. Masterful use of the fiddle to step in for Lindsey, catching the theme and the beat on a different instrument. Just outstanding.

[@forrestlambert410]

Exactly correct.

[@allanosborne5978]

Well said.

[@daniellebauer3678]

This performance deserves more recognition. I'm grateful to have been moved by it again & again.

[@onefortheroad2291]

Every few months I come back to this cover and every time it gives me goosebumps

[@bethbosheers8096]

Wow. I got chills, my ladies. This ain’t just a cover, this is an event.

[@morgbug1]

chills fits so very well. An amazing song elevated. I confess to a crush on Amanda Shires but the musicianship across the board is stunning.

[@gatorjay7972]

Combo of the ladies and the guys in the band make this one potent song.!

[@badmoonrison3777]

The 4 part harmonies are just Incredible! I know Howard has a lot of musicians come in to the studio to record live. This sounds better than any studio version could ever be. Also love Amanda doing the "Whooooo" in the background like Christie McVie did for a Fleetwood Mac. And her violin playing is at expert level. Loved that she threw in a little "we didn't start the fire" at the beginning of the coda . Amazing. Could listen to this on repeat for days and not get sick of it

[@chipsterb4946]

Those higher register grace notes caught my attention too. I hadn’t noticed them in the original version but went back and listened… yep there’s Christine doing the same part. Haven’t heard another cover of this song that included it. Also, Amanda’s 5-string violin gives her the ability to go down into a viola’s space. She really makes great use of that here.

[@AUSSIERITA]

I can't find enough superlatives for this performance. What a great group of talent.

[@forrestlambert410]

Howard has an incredible studio. He always said once he could, he would do it right and he did.

[@techobsessed1]

So good! And really nice of Ms. Shires to give her husband some work as a side man.

[@maggiepanning356]

The fact that you, Amanda, and Brandi Carlile are in a band together is just almost too much to take. You are two of my most favorite and admirable women in music and all of entertainment. Thank you for forming the Highwomen.

[@mikeguinness5408]

This is an impressive LIVE performance with backing by Jason Isbell. I love the studio version of this song, but this live version is right up there. The Highwomen nail this and I thank them for their efforts. I know of their other songs, but this version of this song is just epic. Please keep breaking molds and recasting older songs into newer molds. You've got the handle on it.

[@darrylammons4446]

Music Can and always Will Relate..!!!😊 Thanks

[@roncypert8255]

My goodness! I never thought I would ever hear a cover of this great song that matched up to my favorite Fleetwood Mac live version but lo and behold I just did!! Incredible!!

[@amypagekaviani5661]

Me too!!!

[@brentschmgbert3578]

This is just a cover! The original by Tantric is better

[@amypagekaviani5661]

Chills every time!! The harmonies and the fiddle. Ugh! So, so good!

[@bluejulie6814]

Yes, they have a wonderful blend! And that mournful fiddle❤

[@shaneteague1023]

I just keep coming back to this again and again. Thought Stevie was only one that could give them chills to you but this gets me too.

[@theshyguitarist]

Great singing and with Isbell and Shires on guitar and violin just makes it all the better. All the ambience come from their playing.

[@rameshgautam89]

What a brilliant cover guys.. absolutely beautiful piece of music.

[@scorpina69]

Incredible sound and synchronicity! I love acoustic bass! Wow, I'm glad I've finally discovered these Highwomen.

[@LetArtsLive]

This is effing amazing nobody ever did a cover of Fleetwood Mac this good

[@FreedomToRoam86]

My all-time favorite version of this song. The voices, the instruments, all spot on. And the fiddle caps it in a way that guitars just can't match. Hope to keep hearing more and buying more CD's from the Highwomen!

[@parkerfilms1]

I tried to find a PG response but all I can say is "Oh Holy Fuck!!!!" Somewhere well past spectacular. These women set a whole new standard. Thank you!!
