Elwood: Sundown

[@zuzanamitchez7241]

I remember when first hearing this great cover in year 2000, still sounds fresh 23 years later!

[@mattblatchley2061]

same! I'm shocked I found it again!!!!

[@JSharpe427]

Definitely. It still sounds fresh to me.

[@jackofalltrades8933]

2000’s had great cover songs like this one, alien ant farm/ smooth criminal and limp bizkit/ behind blue eyes/ faith. Just to name a few

[@kendallc2716]

Sitting here absorbing the loss of the incredible Gordon Lightfoot and discovered this gem. What a fantastic cover of a classic. Thank you.

[@lifegood3322]

Wow! I was leaving a Braves game years ago down in Atlanta and there was kid outside handing out cassette singles of this! 😂 Time does go by! This is a great tune!

[@MrArt8man]

I don't usually listen to Rap music, but this is not bad in tribute to the original. Rest in Paradise Gordon.

[@andreawelsh3746]

One of the best covers ever made, of any song. Pays homage to the original but is original itself. I’ve always loved this song!

[@highmileagehusband1915]

Me too Brother. 👍 Um Sister. 😊

[@JSharpe427]

Me three!

[@jamestaylor-qi7dk]

My mom worked at Family Video when they gave this away as a trailer on Cassette, along with King Fish. I can't tell you how many times I hit rewind to listen to this.

[@TacoJoe70]

I was around for the og version, and I have no problem with this version . With that being said...originals just can't be touched 💯

[@heathergossett3828]

I was 29 when this came out, I’m 52 now and I still listen…one of the best covers ever !😊

[@nahkuactual]

I got this on a mixtape from a friend back in the day and fell in love with the song, probably haven't heard it in over a decade. Talk about a rewind, love it.

[@Eeearthmusic]

This is pure brilliance on so many levels

[@jon-darma333]

So sad Mr Lightfoot passed but y'all really showed him respect by doing a great job remixing Sundown. Rock On and Much Respect!

[@des10e31]

My 70 yr old mother loved the original version, so I played this for her. She LOVES it. I can't play the original without then playing this version for her.

[@gordonshumway7756]

The rare perfect cover. It’s quite faithful, but not so much so that it’s totally unnecessary. Love it.

[@EvilSucks]

Word.

[@JSharpe427]

Love it

[@73.stingray7]

I'm 60 now. I'm guessing 20 years ago I was working down on Interstate 10 from Katrina running a bridge grinder which Grinders concrete down. My boss kept telling me to listen to this song he found and he was like I know you like it and I was like hell no he was about ten years younger me. Anyway when he put it on I was amazed I was like damn they did the original Justice and maybe a little bit better. But when I could never get over is they never made it not big time but they never made it big even though they did the original if not as good better period and you never heard really nothing else about them down in the southeast. Anyway Elwood y'all did it damn good brother be proud of yourself. And I'll quit rambling but y'all did damn good Brothers!!!!

[@randywissler9923]

Absolutely love this version!! Especially the intro with the needle on the vinyl!!!

[@VoodooDangerbird]

RIP Gordon Lightfoot ✨

[@verotique74]

I F***KING love this song! Elwood did the original justice.

[@jamesparker1063]

NO actually...this travesty is like p-ing on a prime-rib dinner......and then eating it, and saying, "WOW!! JUST LIKE THE ORIGINAL!!"........

[@davidaloca4791]

Always a hater. But Gordon Lightfoot would have been proud.

[@verotique74]

@james Parker Nobody said "Just like the original"... And I don't like prime rib cut... I prefer the filet. And it's only 3 dots. It's a called an ellipse or ellipsis. (Spelling is regional)

[@davidaloca4791]

I love prime rib myself, but have found Delmonico even better. I love the marbling. I save the fat for desert. Mmmmmm

[@verotique74]

@@davidaloca4791 Have you tried Wagyu beef? It literally melts in your mouth. There is never a bad cut.

[@DanielWSonntag]

Very cool. Heard on CSI NY

[@davidray5791]

Every time I listen to this song my neighbors listen to it too

[@seanburley8522]

I love this cover

[@lorenwhiting9981]

I think this new take on it revives the older version and shows originality from Elwood. I'm not as old as to appreciate the original version as much as the newer one! Elwood's version is incredible! Love it! It brings back some of my favorite memories! My brother who passed was a HUGE fan of the arts, and he introduced me to this song! It FOREVER is remembered with reverence for his memory!!!

[@BarbLarson]

When I first heard this, it was a great cover of a great original and it was set to scenes from Firefly, a great tv show!

[@brianglass3235]

I love Gordon Lightfoot and this is an AMAZING cover!!! You did DAMN GOOD ELWOOD!! ✊✊

[@violetlefey7634]

Totally. Not big on remakes myself, but he did a damn fine job, without taking away from the original. :)

[@eugeneurshifu2601]

This track is hot! Thank you.

[@janethompson1384]

One of the best covers ever, ❤

[@SmindyMimpson]

I've been looking for years for this remix, and just now in my drunken state I've found it... Well worth the hangover 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@vicesgotme]

LittleCreeper A Naughty little creep😉

[@e00041]

I heard this on a 2000's Abercrombie and finch in-store music CD and I'm so addicted to this song

[@rolyatecnal]

I seen Gord play Sundown in person, and I appreciate this.

[@robeartoe416]

Always loved this rendtion, it respects Gordon Lightfoot's craft and adds a fresh twist on the original. Glad its not a karaoke version.

[@TheDevilkain1]

It still can be a karaoke song. Believe me cause I've seen a few tries at a karaoke night where I live 😂

[@davejohnson3803]

This is such a brilliant cover version of Sundown

[@lisablinn3264]

A well written song will always stand the test of time. Fantastic version of Mr. Lightfoot's classic tune.

[@michaeloconnell3574]

I heard this on a tv commercial, 15 years ago. I finally found it. I guess i should not consider detectivework as an occupation.

[@Silverhornet81]

Im a fan of the original, this version is bad ass. Ive had it in my playlist since napster.Well done

[@toniringer8237]

Same! 😆

[@traceybrower2968]

Same!!!

[@erichvonabele4750]

I'm a Gordo purist (favorite albums are Cold on the Shoulder & Summertime Dream, and his remakes on Gord's Gold), and I like this version! Very clever!

[@christinsmith550]

Sundown as a album is my favorite! Seven island suite and watchmans gone

[@michaelbohenek5323]

Rapping to country beats and fresh lyrics this guy is a fuckin. Genius

[@tbituner]

Absolutely love this cover! I was like 12 when I first heard it.

[@Hettepop]

Reminds me of my son, who is 48 now, playing this version of the Gordon Lightfoot classic when he was single and living at home. I played him the original and we had a great time. He still likes to find samples of rock classics in rap and hip hop tunes and sending them to me for fun. This was from at least 20 years ago, right?

[@heathergossett3828]

2001 if I’m correct

[@brianlarsen6211]

I'm pretty sure it was only last year. Right? Right? Dayum.....

[@BrianAchterberg928]

Brill’ cover!!! Well done Elwood!!! ✊

[@DirectionlessStudent]

I grew up with the Gordon Lightfoot version and always loved it. But...IMHO...this version is even better. The interplay between the two vocal parts is brilliant!

Love me some Lightfoot, but this is dopppppe

Love the original but this one is kickin'

[@michaelbarnhart2593]

I know there are some purists that hate Elwood's cover, but they do not realize how many people it navigated to the music of Gordon Lightfoot. :-)

[@jimmbobb]

Of course the original is better but this is dope.

[@Silverhornet81]

I have Gordon Lightfoot on vinyl and Elwood on MP3. This was the second song I DLd on Napster.

[@blip1]

I like both versions a lot

[@Silverhornet81]

Gordon Lightfoot is why im here. I dont normally like remixes, but this one killed.

[@YT313YT]

Agreed- The original is classic but GL is essential listening and I think you are totally correct regarding opening the gate to music from the past ( :✨

[@terrys4351]

Heard this song for the first time yesterday at a pizza place. PRetty good tune.

And now you have all the album in this channel: kzbin.info/aero/PLqPQjqWYYLlKdTLT7GW8K_P2049cqOahU Cheers!

[@MedalionDS9]

Since late 90's this hybrid style of combining folk country and hip-hop... a lot of it comes from Canada strangely

[@landonstainbrook1183]

[@40below1000]

Very clever interpretation and update of a classic. I'm sure Gordo seethed at hearing it and would throw a bottle at Elwood's head given half a chance, but he probably liked the royalties.

[@brcolldew1614]

Nah.. Had bigger things to tend to

[@miket4560]

Big Gordon fan but this is a great riff. Txs 🇨🇦
