but the fighter still remains…
this amazing ballad, originally written by paul simon, gets an honorable makeover from jerry douglas featuring mumford & sons. though i wouldn’t replace the original recording of simon & garfunkel for anything, i think this is a fantastic take. the vocals are powerful and capture the tone brilliantly. not to mention the accompaniment, which adds a good punch (no pun intended). anyway enjoy…
