[@Robert-ym4wj]

Vagueness and clarity as a poet i am forever caught inbetween. I have never heard a cover of this song before. Thank you for this wondrous, egnimatic, bold and definitive interpretation.

Brilliant interpretation of this classic song, one of my all time favourites. You really capture the vulnerability of this song, that you spoke so perceptively of in your introduction, and also have the lovely guitar part down so well. Thank you.

Beautiful miss Shapira ....Wou.. ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

[@АлександрБелый-ц9н]

don't expect anyone to support you. you sing very well, there are always those who are jealous. Go ahead and don't look at them. They will drag you into poverty. Head forward, spread your wings and-uh forward!

[@Dreamer5211]

Hi Ally , I remember when I first heard you play D&R on KZbin years ago , all I can say is WOW !! You nailed it , to perfection !! Thanks so much , hope to hear more , Gary. 

[@AllisonShapira]

Thanks so much! Lots of practice since then.

[@Dreamer5211]

Hi Ally , it shows your style and technic that have have put a ton of effort in mastering an extreme demanding instrument. So many people think a guitar is so easy , until , they actually try to play one !! I am so amazed at your voice , your sound , it too has a quality of effort behind it as well. Thank you , I truly hope we can hear more of Joan`s songs , done in your way , bravo !! I can not see how Joan would not be proud. Take care , Gary.  ( ps: perhaps a video on an upcoming You Now live concert :) ! )

[@AllisonShapira]

Thank you, Gary!

[@Sherman62]

Very beautiful performance! Allison has an amazing voice. And to think that Judas Priest on the local rock station led me here....

[@dlmarq]

Oh WOW

[@Kerkorea]

Hi Ally , You sang so well! The only thing missing is not enough drama? Lack of painful helplessness!

[@corneliapfeiffer-meinelied6176]

Ganz großartig!!

[@sourilyne]

Magnifiquement bien reprise ! Elle diffère de l’original mais en garde la teneur. Bravo !

Your voice is so much like Joan's voice! But you know that...

[@AllisonShapira]

Thank you!

[@sallydurham5934]

she’s good.

[@jospina65]

If many people perfectly imitate Joan Baez then they make Baez look like one among many and take away his originality. Please do not imitate, make your own productions, do not deny your souls.

[@hesedken]

beautiful... she may have been vulnerable but also treacherous

[@suzannelawson9215]

Do you take requests? There is a great song that Joan Baez covered by Bob Dylan called "North." Just wondering if you could possibly cover that one?

[@AllisonShapira]

I'll take a look at that one - thank you!
