I just bought this thing myself, haven't heard it all completely but Jesse Winchester's version of Sundown..... um um it sucks. He butchered it completely.
Bend in the Water sounds like it was done by The Muppets! LOL LOL
Out of all the songs on the CD, Winchester's Sundown is my least favorite. He strayed to far away from the melody and the feel of the song. I don't have a problem with an artist putting a little of himself in a cover, but he just went too far with it. He left nothing of Gord in there.
The first time I heard Bend In The Water, I though it was a bit strange, but it's growing on me. I sat down and listened closely to it and started hearing all these sound effects that give it a swampy sound. I kind of like it now. I think it's pretty creative.
My two favorites are The Way I Feel, and CRT.
