Comments on: Willie Nelson's Gravedigger Cover http://blogthatjanelikes.com/2008/01/13/willie-nelsons-gravedigger-cover/ A Dave Matthews Band Weblog Tue, 07 Oct 2008 13:50:09 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.2 By: Matt http://blogthatjanelikes.com/2008/01/13/willie-nelsons-gravedigger-cover/#comment-37393 Matt Thu, 03 Apr 2008 03:34:26 +0000 http://blogthatjanelikes.com/2008/01/13/willie-nelsons-gravedigger-cover/#comment-37393 On a side note and since this is the most recent thread - I'm posting it here. If you listen to the 2005 versions of "Hello Again"...the intros are basically what #27 is based off of. Lyrics basis included. I only realized this because I was playing guitar...and that opening lick is the intro to #27. Redundant post, but I was excited.

I do realize that Dave and Willie have the whole Farm Aid relationship going on, but this...? When I first heard Willie's version, I nearly laughed milk out of my nose. Not only did it sound like a horrid karaoke version of a great song, but I also agree with the preivious poster's comment about Willie "mailing this one in." So true...Iwould avoid this one like the plague! Oh man…when I first heard this was coming, I got a bit nervous.

It is a testament to Dave's music that someone of Willie's stature would cover one of his songs, though.

Dave should stop Willie before he covers more of his songs. it just flat out wasn't good at all. it's a horrible version of gravedigger. he sounds ridiculous trying to sing it.

Sounds like he doesn't even like the song, but knew he needed to cover something popular to sell some records. It's almost like he's making fun of the song.

Willie's take on it was different but he captured it well. Enjoy I love Willie, and of course I love Dave, so this cover did not let me down.
