Richard Shindel also does a great Sing Me Back Home. It's a hidden track on one of his early cd's. I'd have to look to remember.

The Burrito Bros version is the best. Gram on the first 2 FBB albums had an amazing voice. Those records are what got me into country music and I love them for that. Run and get a copy of the Sleepless Nights disk now.

Howdy All

The Jayhawks recorded it once to. It's on the Bad time CD Single from 1995.

Dwight Yoakam's version is also very cool.

The bluegrass group The Seldom Scene has also recorded a beautiful version of this song.

Also, of course, The Grateful Dead used to cover this tune quite frequently.

I have a live copy of it too. It ranks up there as one of Farrar's (UT & SV) best covers, the best probably being the cover of A Good Year for the Roses, or, if you want to be picky about cover songs, No Depression and Atomic Power.

Merle Haggard wrote it.

I'm pretty sure Son Volt used to play this song. I know Jay closed with it on piano at his last show at Mississippi Nights. My question is if this is a cover and, if so, who wrote it? Beautiful song, in my opinion. Would have fit perfectly on Terroir Blues.
