The first time I heard this song by Hank Williams I thought it sounded like a movie that was made during the Great Depression. Some guy on the road with a guitar, singing songs for his supper. Sorta like Woody Guthrie, but this was way before I even knew who he was. Then I heard the Cowboy Junkies version and I started to cry.

They caught that melancholy that you only find in the depths of a Canadian February.
