This is my favorite song of all-time as I’m a huge Tim Hardin fan. And this is no doubt the purest and most authentic rendition of Tim’s song ever recorded, and I’ve heard just about all of them, which is a lot. Over 150 in fact. Tim would be honored.
The original is beautiful, but so many have covered it that we've lost track of that beauty. This lady reminds us how great the song actually is, and the trick that enables her to do that is by playing and singing in a slightly different key. Excellent.
+Jack Nichols Good version.Don't know if I think it's the best but it's good.Don't know of any other recent versions.Most of them were recorded in the 60's and maybe 70's.
