Good, but not near the original. Many cover Townes songs but they all somehow fail because Townes van zandt was a genius no one can sing his songs as good as he did.
I can see how this performance can rub some people the wrong way, but you also have to hear it in context of an album closer. The rise of digital music seems to have erased the idea of an album as a singular work of art not just a compilation. Overall I really enjoyed this song (and I am a huge Townes fan) and it makes a great closer to a great album
