Boots

It's Bob Dylan's "Boots of Spanish Leather" in a beautiful rendition by Nancy Griffith (left). She was unknown to me until I bumped into the post by tomtscotland:



A Bob Dylan song with a southern drawl, kind of interesting! In fact, quite pleasant!

You can contrast Nancy's with Dylan's original, early 60's version, in the post by Revan0357:

Don't miss the comments revan0357 had about this song. He researched it quite well. Dylan had many later versions when on tour, but they are way too fancy for me. Ouch! I am still stuck in the 60's and early 70's when it comes to music.

Nancy Griffith is mighty fine, Mr. Dylan a musical genius, but "Boots of Spanish Leather" didn't really hit me until I heard it from Joan Baez years ago. If interested you can retrieve mp3's of all 3 versions from my 4shared.com folder:
