You’ll recognize this Gordon Lightfoot classic. Toby puts some great passion behind this live version on the Deluxe version of his latest album. He gets the fans in the audience to sing along and it makes for a great moment on the record. I love when country artists take on classic American rock songs like this. Toby does a great job. He captures the same vibe Gordon does on the original and adds a little bit of Toby attitude.
I do like Toby's version but this person is out to lunch. Toby's version is super laid back - not "passionate." And he certainly doesn't capture "the same vibe." (Gordon's version is much more edgy, dark, raw and menacing.) It's also missing Toby's typical cocky attitude. He put his own stamp on it but that was about it. While I like it I don't love it.

So I agree with Char - GOOD GRIEF!
