Most of the country versions of the song aren't that great if you're not into country. This version takes some of the country guitar phrasing while still keeping with the style he exhibited in his solo shows and is all the better because of it. Lyrically, it's a simple piece, a retread of old themes, but in light of the situation in which the song was released (aside from the live show itself where only a relatively small amount of people was present), it's rather powerful.
