I agree with impeachthebastards. I've owned the 33-1/3 album, 8 track, cassette, and now the CD of Judy Collins' version. Definately one of my lifetime favorites. Very Moving. I had long red hair back then too.

Good postings all! Perhaps we should come up with songs of similar ilk to recommend to each other. I would throw in, from the same period, Bert Jansch's 'How Your Love is Strong'.

Thanks for posting. The album cover art is beautiful. For a really nice version of this song recorded around the same time, listen to Judy Collins' album (Who knows where the time goes). Stephen Still's does great petal steel guitar work on there and the whole feel of the song is very moving.

i have a question i love this song but it is the first time i've heard this version the one i have (from a friends burnt cd) is much faster, although everything else is the same, than this version just wondering if there is a different version out there

I have no idea where Crayford Town Hall is,But for a real folk muscian,no place is unlikely!.That is why folk music is the best.BTW all music is ultimately folk music,except some of the preformers believe themselves ORIGINAL!,IMPORTANT!,GIFTED!,DIFFERENT!.They are the ones that usually have no talent.ISB will still be played 100 years from now,simply because they were actually good.

Funnily enough, I saw them in the most unlikely of settings - Crayford Town Hall!!! in Kent - in about whenever it was, late Sixties. Loved their first album even more, October Song and the rest. Also saw Williamson playing with a very irritable John Renbourn a couple of years. I thanked the latter for his music (always loved Renbourn too!) and he said: "Thanks, mate" - as unpretentious as you like.

I first heard this on WBAI in New York.larry Josephson programme: circa i968. I am from Scotland and it had great meaning to me then as now.
