I love the tempo. Really highlights the musicality of this duo. Gillian's wilting strumming wraps warmly around Rawling's soulful lines. Great, subtle vocal harmonies. Really makes me feel like I'm on a Greyhound watching New Mexico whip by outside the window. Thirty miles till the next cigarette. Warm, red landscapes. Purple hazy paper-mache mountains in the distance.
Great song by Bob Dylan, a modern day Billy the Kid, free spirit who called his shots as he saw them, glad he's still doing his thing, life not cut short by the system.
This song to me says "do something with your fucking Life, you are here for a purpose. Stop doing the soul destroying job that chips away at your spirit, end the shit relationship that is BBQs and beer, wake the fuck up, do one good thing and then, Then give up and let the cunts win, whoever they are but at least you have done your thing.
Those riffs at 3:20 and 4:40! David is a magician. His guitar magic is a match for her voice magic. God bless and keep them both. But I'm being selfish because I want to keep listening to and watching them for a long time.
I saw them in seattle, about 14 years ago, at the crocodile cafe, a very cool underground club in seattle, has anybody out there been there? At the time the whole place was black, with a bar in the back, not fancy by no means, but very cool!!! it was standing room only with just a few chairs up aganst the wall, and it was packed, shoulder to shoulder, the room where they played was very small, with a small stage, and we all stood there for about a hour and a half, as gillian play her very SLOW songs, I love every second of it, and so did every body else, but it just seemed so out of place for her to sing those slow Deep Dark Songs, with that very old mountian bluegrass sound, playing right there in a city that brought out the sound of Pearl Jam, and Nirvava, I keeped wondering were did all these people come from, but her music will keep you spell bound.
a truly beautiful version of this song - it captures all of it's spirit and sensuality. I have been listening to this album for the past 40 years, Dylan's album was released with the movie in 1973, and it's timeless beauty has been with for all the way. Love this version, well done !
right there in the cantina, just inside of the border, sun dipping, rough wooden table, smoking high, her dark hair falling, squinting at the purple hills
This is from their DVD ... I've always loved this song but until today didn't realize it was written by Bob Dylan. These people are all genius. I stand amazed and awed :} Thanks to gojohnnygo2 for posting this gem!
Usually hate any Bobby cover versions but, altho they interrupted the poetry and menaing by deleting the key versions, bloody good version. I can tell you for a fact that Bob quite liked it ....
An excellent performance and a nice flow for a great song from Bob Dylan, and from an album that deserves more recognition. Also, to me, from an artist who has always made us all feel forever young with his great music. Songs that are also just "forever" timeless. It is so nice to see hidden classics like this brought to light again and given their just due.
Aye lad. Extenuating circumstances prevail: The Sublime: "Gillian Welch," Her Cadence Then allows Mr. Rawlings to bring out the personality (If you will) of the story. I have been smitten by this musically told tale from the very moment I heard the first bar and the name 'Billy'
Mr. Tesshu have you ever heard Mr. Dylans radio Show?. which he ran for over a year . A theme music show as they cover ,'Music related in some fashion to a particular country. Bob's control of the english language, his diction, anounciation, pronoununciation, is a hundred percent bettor than my spelling. Unique,and educational.

nobody and I mean nobody picks like Dave Rawlings , it,s like listening to a vintage musical box , wonderful !
Bome da.
David Rawlings absolutely in the zone here, and he knows it, incredible feeling and technical skill.
My favorite song from Dylan's soundtrack (especially"Billy 7"), and this cover is amazing.

Absolutely beautiful cover ❤️😊🎶🎶🎶🎶

I love David Rawlings' guitar playing.
Absoluetly incredible!!!Moves me to tears every time i hear this!!
You can almost see blinding sunlight and heat mirages and dust blowing in the wind across endless stretches of caliche, cactus, and shattered rock.
The best version of this one I've heard. :-)
Ron
brilliant
Music is a kind of magic that way
Music and poetry

john dennis No but would have loved it. You got lucky
that sounds really quite mystical. Music is such magic
Good music is good music, no matter where or when. Sounds awesome.
Beautiful blissful melodious talent
Bravo to you both. Hope to be seeing hearing more of you
This is so cool. Who would think to cover Billy? I love this.
I know right? Rawlings is a HUGE Dylan fan

To those who think it drags..well, .. the music is in between the notes..
Beautiful observation:)
So good! My favorite soundtrack to my favorite movie. Sam Peckinpah's Pat Garrett and Billy The Kid.
Bob Dylan for President !
it makes me goosebumps everytime when i hear them sing together. so beautiful
My favorite Peckinpah film
I want a man that makes love to me, like Dave makes love to that guitar

"Billy, they don't like you to be so free" .... Heads up, people!
Usually hate any Bobby cover versions but, altho they interrupted the poetry and menaing by deleting the key versions, bloody good version. I can tell you for a fact that Bob quite liked it ....
ok😑
Very fine version ... Thank you so much for sharing it!

Beautiful song ,, it’s amazing how time flies ,, my great great grandfather worked with Billy ,, cattle back in time
That is amazing, I bet he has some great stories
Great rendition. Fabulous harmonies, fabulous instruments.
I only knew the original version so far (Dylan"s own) but I really enjoy this one with great guitar and vocals. I love it.
Great job by them- That's always been my vote for most underrated Bob Dylan song.
What a song.
One of my favourite songs to play at gigs or busking. Excellent version here with Rawlings adding some SouthWest flavour.
Love this song and this is a wonderful cover! Thank you!
Rawlings is fantastic.
If this song was any s!ower id fall asleep. They drag all their tunes to a slow grinding slog. Just my opinion.
...can`t explain , how i love it !!!!
great version of lesser known Dylan Gem
Dave Rawlings is the best harmony singer in the world.
Dylan plays their version before his shows.
Gillian's voice is...OK,I'll just stop there...
I saw them 2 nights in a row at 2 different places. I don't remember when or where but it was when I was a rambler before this railroad job.
Just so beautiful
awsome....outstanding work
15 years: More gray hair but no less talent.
nope, too slow. loses the pace necessary to tell the story properly. it's not a cowboy-western love song.
The best version of this one I've heard. :-)
Ron
Beautiful you guys, thanks
Did this give the inspiration for their song The Trip?
Just wonderful. How D. R. tells this story with his guitar is amazing.
two heavenly good musicians⭐️⭐️⭐️
Fantastic David,u r a great player.I will try to copy your playing.Hope u do not mind?Tnx,Koos,from Amsterdam.
I think Bob would be proud.
Muy bueno!!!
Goosebumps !
That Was FUCKING AWESOME - AWESOME AWESOME - FUCK YEA..!
David Rawlings kills
This is a song from a soundtrack! Mmmkaayyy
Yep, Billy the Kid and Pat Garrett
Decent cover but pales in comparison to the original....watch the movie..
Do not compare. Relate
Love ❤️
Fabulosa versió de la cançó de Dylan en les veus d'aquesta fantàstica parella nord-americana. Gràcies gojohnnygo2.
Fuckin A
Brutal !!!!!
Sublime...
American folk at its best, brilliant. Sleep with one eye open when you slumber
This is Billy 1 and Billy 4 combined lyrics. Very cool.
...dommage Billy je n ai jamais su compte jusqu a dix... il est tant de rentrer j ai trop couru...merci Garett !
I agree with one comment about the original being the best, especially "Billy 4" and "Billy 7', but I really like these guys' interpretation of it.
See 👀the clown who makes the children laugh as he spins around n shows ewe all his triks n shit 😱😲😱
Wonderful!
Marvelous!
Brutal versio !!!!
merci a vous ..
You know the man has got to love this version. I like Los Lobos version a lot 2

Ron

David Rawlings rips each note out of the very center of his sole!
Mike Jenkins he must go through alot of shoes like that...
Don't you mean soul?
Is this available to the public on DVD? Soundtrack?

Billy7 is the best for me.

gr8 share.......merci
Nice performance 👏
sure is damn fine stuff
slow is good too
oh so good!! literally brought tears to my eyes just to hear this performed so well!
#4 all the way for me
Rawlings is superb but the tempo is killing a great song 4/10.
I thought that at first. But repeated listening has changed my mind. It's beautiful.
the tempo?? whats wrong with the tempo?
I think Steve means that it's just a little too slow..?
