Vive Le Difference!
OK......it's not the best version I've ever heard, but it has it's own merits.

I thought I liked Cave, until I heard this terrible version of this great song.

Sounds a lot like some of the stuff from his Firstborn is Dead album. And for those who think it sucks because he's a wealthy middle-aged white dude rather than an authentic bluesman, songs are meant to be played. And you can bet that Blind Willy Johnson (if he were not long gong) would be happy Nick Cave did a version of his song.

I guess nick has as much right to cover this as anyone considering nick is now a christian i believe.

To perform a historical blues song like this one, you don't need to be black or something, you only need to show respect of this tribute and sing it soulfully, imitating (if you have the guts) the pain that comes out of it.
F**K the skin-color issue!!!

Who cares if it's a "white" or a "black" song? Nick Cave is known to have been heavily influenced by American blues--a genre which finds its roots primarily among the black community. Should he not be allowed to do this because he's white and sings in a different way? Uh. No. Of course he can, that's the beauty of cross-cultural interaction.
Although I'm not sure just what I think of his version.

well im sure you may have noticed that whites and blacks have different ways of singing. im just saying that black people sound better when they sing this.

So you are calling out his white-ness, white man called (cough) Jamoca? |
