I played that album to death, back in the day.I have to go with Three Dog Night, if only because their heyday of hits matches up with my teenage years. Loved them!

Agree with you 100% Walrus.And I am definitley not a fan of "sampling", otherwise known as ripping off original artists.
While I'm a guitar player, I'm a much bigger fan of music than I am of 'guitarists.'I'm surprised to see there ain't much guitar playing involved in your selections : rather astonishing on a Guitar Forum, especially a Guild one...
We're getting into teen aged school girls hits a bit too much sometimes, I find...
Anybody's playing guitar here.
The original is a little more raw singer-song writer while the cover has a little slicker production. What bothers me about the original is the double tracked vocals. I don't care for that in this context. If it's ever remastered, they should try it without the double tracking.What say you?
It's a tie for me. I couldn't choose one over the other. Equally good.I'm a big Crowell fan, and I have to say I like his version better, although one can't say enough about the number of great songs Van Zandt has written.
Townes Van Zandt - "No Place to Fall"
And a recent cover by Rodney Crowell

Agreed. The original sounds more authentic with respect to the lyrics (if that makes sense).I think the original artist nailed it
