the-theme-is

A group music blog of weekly themes. Each week, the moderator will pick a new theme and the members will post songs that fit, especially rare gems others may have not heard before.

We will call attention to forgotten gems and songs that have stood the test of time!

(We wish to stand out from the other blogs out there with this collection of rarities.)

Joan Baez - The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down (1971)

***************************************************

This is a great tune but I’m sorry, I think Joan’s version is a much better production.  It really gives a feel, a vibe, an irony.  I like the Band’s original version, but Joan’s huge radio hit version has a life of its own.

“Virgil, quick come see, there goes a Robert-E-Lee!”

The Theme is … Covers That Equal or Better the Original

Attention guessimdumb: here’s an attempt at friendly ‘debate’ :-)
