    I'm 60 now. I'm guessing 20 years ago I was working down on Interstate 10 from Katrina running a bridge grinder which Grinders concrete down. My boss kept telling me to listen to this song he found and he was like I know you like it and I was like hell no he was about ten years younger me. Anyway when he put it on I was amazed I was like damn they did the original Justice and maybe a little bit better. But when I could never get over is they never made it not big time but they never made it big even though they did the original if not as good better period and you never heard really nothing else about them down in the southeast. Anyway Elwood y'all did it damn good brother be proud of yourself. And I'll quit rambling but y'all did damn good Brothers!!!!

  • @lorenwhiting9981
    @lorenwhiting9981 4 роки тому +19

    I think this new take on it revives the older version and shows originality from Elwood. I'm not as old as to appreciate the original version as much as the newer one! Elwood's version is incredible! Love it! It brings back some of my favorite memories! My brother who passed was a HUGE fan of the arts, and he introduced me to this song! It FOREVER is remembered with reverence for his memory!!!

    Reminds me of my son, who is 48 now, playing this version of the Gordon Lightfoot classic when he was single and living at home. I played him the original and we had a great time. He still likes to find samples of rock classics in rap and hip hop tunes and sending them to me for fun.
