Lefty could do a wide range of notes and that makes it sound like there are is someone doing the harmonies- but it's all him. <br /><br />As far as the song, you might argue that the guy should not have been fooling around with a married girl, and, worse- the wife of someone very close to him. But, he did a noble thing- and paid with his life. Should the girl have come to his "rescue"? Maybe- I think that's what you are saying? Yes, she visits his grave as the night winds wail (refer to Sammi in Saunders Ferry Lane singing "standing by the water, in the icy winter wind.." goose bump material, perfect for Halloween). I would propose a different view than you have- they both chose "life"- for her. It's like that Dracula thing you wrote about, one must die so that the other one lives. I disagree with you about the romance angle- much like the sex appeal of Dracula, the one dies/ one lives thing is like giving yourself, literally, to God (or whomever the supreme being is) to celebrate the partner.

That kind of ruins the romatic notion for me.<br /><br />I get that speaking up meant she (and her family) would become outcasts in their town, but dead is dead. She didn't do the right thing. And ... what's the deal with her lover? He could've done better in the romance department by falling for someone who would have done ANYTHING to keep him alive! Like how about coming forward and telling the truth! Crying on his grave? Too late, sister. :)<br /><br />I love the Band's version too, by the way. Probably Lefty's is my favorite redition. His silky smooth voice and delivery gives the song pathos and a haunting quality. Notice how he can sing the song all by himself without any harmony. That's how good he was.<br />Debra Turnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04553596042707601518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8286641315310259749.post-34170667298797446872013-10-29T08:24:54.708-04:002013-10-29T08:24:54.708-04:00Long Black Veil is an ultimate country song and a ...Long Black Veil is an ultimate country song and a great choice for this page. I have deconstructed it numerous times over the years- it's a great romantic ballad in that he is looking up from the grave (or down from heaven- yes heaven, and not hell) at his beloved, whom he died for. This was also done by "the Band". Though this is not "Guilty Pleasures 3", thre other spooky other worldly CW songs that I would recommend are "Bringing Mary Home" by Billy Ed Wheeler, "Phantom 309" by Red Sovine, and, one of my all time faves- "Saunders Ferry Lane" by Sammi Smith.Barry Pnoreply@blogger.com
