I've always loved "Polly" too. The Walkabouts did a great version on their covers album but I have to say the new version on Raising Sands by Robert Plant and Alison Krauss might just be the definitive version (listed as "Polly Come Home" on that CD.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comp!
keep up the good work. always love the compilations
ReplyDeleteCoincidentally, I just heard another version of "Polly" on the new live CD by Chris and Rich Robinson of The Black Crowes.
ReplyDeleteTo bad Gene is around to get some of these royalty checks that are about to start rollin' in.

Hi,

Please could you post some concert of Tramps & Thieves?, I have bought their album "Spittin' Into The Wind" and it is awesome one for the 2007 top.

I swear I already left a comment on this but it didn't take....let me try to recompose it.
ReplyDeletePolly.....that's awesome there are those other versions. I will have to check those out. I've only heard good things about the Alison Krauss/Plant thing too....need to check that out.
I don't have alot of what you guys requested. I will put it on my list of crap to check out though.
(the original post was alot better than that :)......you'll just have to use your imagination though)
