As a Blaze fan, my opinion is that this is the best cover ever done of this one. And I've heard most of them. They get the spirit, the music and do it right.

[@karinenjellepelle]

John prine also does a good job covering this

[@JohnnyBGoode-xw9zj]

I love the Avett Brothers from the first moment I heard them, but John’s version pulls your heart strings every time.

[@Gr8Layks]

@@JohnnyBGoode-xw9zj I loved John, may he rest in peace, but he changed Blaze's lyrics. That's a sin. Surprising, too, since he was upset that Johnny Cash changed his lyrics to Sam Stone for television. This Avett Brothers version is 2nd only to Blaze himself. But, whatever ... art is subjective.

[@mikecooley1861]

Check out Tim Barry’s version. (Front man for punk band Avail)

[@johnblicharz5658]

These bros sing from the heart no one does it better ❤🎸

[@jockofthebush]

Blaze must've been such a soul to be around. He lived like he wanted to, died doing what he thought was right. He's missed.

[@spinztarella]

The sheer beauty of the song and its lyrics, Scott's intensity and Seth's beautiful harmony apart, every time I come to listen which is pretty often, I'm always blown away by the double bass. Dum de dum dum, just beautiful

[@MrJkfamilyguy59]

You did Blaze Foley proud. Very authentic. Thank you for keeping it real and close to original.

[@egrunyon]

How many times can I like this? Pure love.

[@MrJkfamilyguy59]

" Try and hide my sorrow from the people I meet and get along with it all " " I'm tired of running around looking for answers I already know " "I could build a castle of memories just to have somewhere to go " Wooooo Devastating truth. Thank you Blaze.

[@michaeldematteis9944]

What a verse.jesus..that's good!!

[@nolapoleaon]

Scott just closes his eyes and feels it.. The way music is meant to be played.

[@lincolnmaceachern2410]

100% agree; they pour their heart into it.

[@Oneofthechose]

Seth does now as well he’s just more.. intense when he plays.. saw Dave Rawlings Machine front row- all 5 eyes closed in harmony only strings.. Jesus it was freakin unreal even got a “China Doll” outta Dave🙂

[@martinpotts6925]

It's an eyes shut kinda song ... lovely rendition guys ..Blaze ... Townes and Guy Clarke three great Western spirits

[@retriever19golden55]

Blaze and Townes sang with their eyes closed, too. I like this cover a lot, it's pretty...but Blaze did feel it a lot more.

[@retriever19golden55]

@Marten Dekker I wouldn't go as far as phoning it in, but Blaze definitely felt it more. This is pretty, though.

[@HangoverMike]

I just discovered Blaze and this song today! Then of course y’all have a version! ❤ What a beautiful song

[@douglaswegener9086]

Started with Blaze, then John Prine, then Scott and Seth. I absolutely love them all.

[@bill16119]

One of my all time favorite songs. I loved it when John Prine covered it and now one of my favorite bands does too.

[@lens33]

Are you me?

[@joelsimms4636]

Yeah but John chose to change the words to the song for what ever reason. To me if you're going to cover a writers song at least sing the right words .

[@lincolnmaceachern2410]

I guess he came by that honestly; perhaps he should have told Johnny Cash not to change the words to "Sam Stone."

[@thomasscarbrough3420]

Blaze foley was a great man. WE lost him way to early. Look him up and you will understand. He died doing the right thing.

[@Artem-kv4er]

what did he do?

[@josephlewis7446]

@@Artem-kv4er he was a lyrical genius, and a rennasaunce man

[@TXtruthinpolitics]

@@Artem-kv4er He befriended an old man. The old man's son would come by when his social security check came, beat up his dad and take his check to feed his heroin habit. Blaze was there one time and tried to stop him. He shot Blaze with a rifle. Pretty sad story.

I actually had no idea who the Avett Brothers were when I first heard this! My brother got me into Blaze Foley and I fell in love with this song. Which lead me to this. Now I can't get enough Avett Gold! Thanks Bro!

[@wwaldo2525]

Best band currently working

[@robbiebeck22]

That's how it works. Was listening to Prine and stumbled into Foley, Gurf Morlix and Townes Van Zandt.

@@robbiebeck22 If you haven't please get to Guy Clark.

[@MattTelepenko]

A friend showed me a few songs around 2012, even learned one on guitar so she could sing it. Didn’t think much, then a couple years later I looked them up again and got completely hooked! Crazy how that goes

[@andrewpalmiere7022]

The best cover of an absolute gem.

[@shanemac5366]

Beautiful rendition. Thanks, Blaze. Thanks, John. Hope you are getting re-acquainted and playing together for my folks and yours.

[@fastheartmartvideos]

Great song! I just recently found out Blaze Foley wrote it after listening to John Prine's version for months now. Imagine John Prine covering your song! Wild. And now I find out the Avette Brothers cover it too. Wow! Good times! I love the Avette Brothers.

[@Oneofthechose]

I was there 1st show they played this I was like 😱 and a year before Waits “old ‘55” their covers are freakin impressive tho this song fits Prine’s voice Foley’s version really hits hard

[@wshow11]

Prine also covered a friend of mine's song! "Baby Ruth", by John D. Wyker. Also wrote Motorcycle Mama and played in a band called "Sailcat". Baby Ruth was also covered by the great Delbert McClinton.

[@SuperMaxryder]

BLAZE!!!!! THIS IS AWESOME!!! I've been a fan of THE DRUNKEN ANGEL for a long while!TKQ

[@bobfells]

Decent enough cover of a fantastic song. I'm happy that bands are covering Blaze so maybe more people will think to look him up when they see this wasn't written by the band they're listening to. Blaze was such a wonderful talent it's a shame he left us too soon. Long live Blaze Foley!

[@banjobandit3270]

I will never get people who “dislike” videos like this. Why are you even here?

[@vladislavvejnovic3200]

maybe because they expected a better cover? I've never heard of this band and definitely don't like this cover. Plus that hairy dude on the left looks like he has shat in his pants and has a very bad voice. So I guess that's why these 9 folks don't like this cover.

[@ptuffgong8504]

@@barrymoore7445 I agree with you. Some people, like Vladislav, see only negativity in the world. Instead of disagreeing with them, we should probably pity them. If I see something that I don't particularly like, I go elsewhere. I don't make sure everyone else knows how unhappy I am with something. Move on, Vladislav. Criticize people elsewhere.

I love the simple picking of this even though some of transitioning isn't that simple. Still haven't figured it out yet. I'm better at banjo anyway. Blaze is a legend. I'd like for the FBI to return that one studio album they confiscated. It almost sounds like someone is playing a twelve-string along with them but it's the harmonizing is perfect. Amazing cover. Much respect for using finger picks too. I can only use them when playing slide.
