Fairport Convention's cover, which I enjoy just a touch more, to be honest.

It's been years since I last listened to them. Thanks for bringing back fond memories!

What genre would these fall under?

I think I like the cover more \m/

Completely missed this comment earlier -- sorry! I'd say folk or folk-rock, though the lines can often blur a bit.

I have never heard this cover. I would still take Leonard's version but this is fun.

Oooo that's a great cover.

Man I am loving this thread. So many wonderful interpretations and homages to some fantastic songs.
