Heard many others, but this version is ridiculous. My band has covered this for years, and now I try to sing it like this. I love Chris' rendition of it. Great vocals and groove. Thanks, Brother
couldnt agree more brother - kids today have nothing to listen to like we did - cant imagine a single tune in todays charts that will be remembered in 40 months let alone 40 years - mabye we werent the lost generation after all ???
Excellent cover the Lowell George classic. Also check out The Byrds version. Also a band from the early 1970s, named Seatrain with Peter Rowan, did a great job on this tune. Two other members of Seatrain were Andy Kulberg & Roy Blumenfeld of The Blues Project.
Awesome...I've loved this song ever since I'd first heard Linda do it way back in the mid '70s and I love the Black Crowes as well so it's great to see the two meet. 8-) Well done.
amazing Little Feat song. This cover is right up there with Linda R....i have looked deeply, and really there are only about 2 or 3 people/bands that do this song justice. The Black Crowes head the list.
If you haven't heard it.... chk out The Midnight Ramble Bands version.....It's after Levon died (God rest his soul) & with a female singer, but great instruments...Pretty good version. I'm a big Levon fan, from the same neck of the woods in Arkansas.....Don't tell anyone, but I smoked a joint with Levon Shhhhh.
Great version of a classic song. Thanks for the post. The more you dig into their catalog, the better the Crowes get. I hope their hiatus is short, they are in a really creative period with all cylinders firing.
This song does any band justice! Even if you're shitty, like some I was in! Jamey Johnson does this, too. I looked it up - 97 bands do it (& counting)!
no one does it like lowell and thats the way it was meant to be, I'm sorry to say that because it is a beautiful song but no one can beat lowell's calm demeanor
oh n dont forget The Commander's I Took Three Bennies.(Here I sit with a broken heart I Took Three Bennies now my Semi truck wont start). From their 2nd LP: Hot Licks, Cold Steel & Truckers' Favorites
LOVE THE CROWES BUT THINK THIS SONG BEST SUNG BEST BY "GREG ALLMAN" ON SOUTHERN BLOOD ALBUM/CD NEW RELEASE AFTER HIS PASSING CHECK IT OUT SOUNDS REALLY GREATTHE WHOLE ALBUM IS GREAT.

this ait bad. i was expecting the over exagerated iiii eeeeee aaaaaaaa robinson eeee aaaa iiiiii...people you now the sound i'm talking about......eeeee iiiiiiiiooooooo like he is spazing out
just because they wrote it doesn't mean they "did" it better. Most of the time the cover is not as good but in this case it was better. Also that's why I said kicks all other "covers" ass.
+Brittany Caudill Ok..so I went to Commander Cody to listen to your claim. I would put the pipe down. Had you thrown in the caveat " To me "...then I probably wouldn't have said anything as you would have then made it subjective.
agreed....the Commander Cody version is beyond square....it's almost painful. Feat nailed the proper vibe for this song live on Waitin' For Columbus....everyone else is doing the faster tempo....plus you get Bill Payne's stupdendous piano solo on that version.
I think it fits more for men, because imagining Linda as a female truck driver doesn't work as well for me. Also the lyrics generally fit not so much for a woman I would say. But it's just my opinion...
Jim Chance, I’ll take the band that wrote 99.99% of their own material as opposed to the artist who just sang songs written for her to sing. Creativity with grace trumps just a pretty voice... for me anyways
there's just WAY too much shit goin' on here....mando/slide/piano/cymbal crashes/shuffling drums.....hot mess. Let's all solo at once shall we !?!?!?!?!
The ability if The Black Crowes to take anyone's song and make it their own is truly inspirational. For love of the music, nothing more.
This is probably the greatest truck driving song ever written.
Takes a southern boy to do this Little Feat masterpiece justice. The CROWES baby.... true rock and roll with some southern soul!
They are southern from Atlanta, GA..lol
brings tears of joy...beautiful job....Lowell would be proud-
Yes he would.
Great version of this classic song.

great version....Lowell would smile.
great version of this classic. I miss you Charlie.
my favorite is Lowell George...but this is my next favorite...thanks
Did you forget the late Greg Allmans version?

that's awesome. going to listen now.
+James Lumpkin ' was here, with that Nikon. $$$$$$
Check out The Band of Heathen's version, best one I have heard.
david browning
BlackBerry Smoke would go second in the short list....in my opinion.
Very much in the spirit of Little Feat
I love me some good old's southern rock
I think it is an excellent cover of one of my favorite songs.
Great version of a classic song. Thanks for the post. The more you dig into their catalog, the better the Crowes get. I hope their hiatus is short, they are in a really creative period with all cylinders firing.
They’re finally back bro isn’t that insane
Most renditions of Willing are superfluous, but this one works, because he approaches it vocally as a pure country singer.
Wonderful rendition. The tempo is magical. ARA's do it very similarly. Lowell George's genius is remarkable.
I love the Crowes version.
Me too. Beautiful.
I love this version of the song, and it is the version I use for inspiration, when I want to play it.
Dang it. Chris, you made me shed a tear.
Wiser Time is a good road song.
Lowell George gone way too soon
Love this song. good cover.
Love it, great version!
Best version ever ! 👏🏻💙
little feat s waiting on colombus version is my favorite version though this is good
A great cover... my favorite version!!
Yup this is great! i just got the Crowes acoustic album 22 of the best songs
Just the best song..to love alwayd
lovin this version
Little feat and Lowell George are the best
No way friend.. Linda Ronstadt gives me chills everytime.
@@sweetsara8444 You can't be serious, it's a pop sanitized version.
Beautiful tribute
Darren Lampton
William Watson
Best I,'ve heard
They are all good
This is a great version. I’m surprised it never got any radio play
This song does any band justice! Even if you're shitty, like some I was in!
Jamey Johnson does this, too. I looked it up - 97 bands do it (& counting)!
Fantastic sound
Cool version of a classic!
Gregg descansa en paz no te olvidaré nunca
Great cover!
excellent
seatrain nails it also
Next best version to the original LG
Nice cover. LG would approve.
pretty respectful cover with a nice subdued energy
Damn good tune #vibes
nice song
sweet .....♥
hell yeah....I'm gonna run till I'm done.
Lowell George did it best but this is good
great remake of linda ronstadts willin
hrk614. Little feet
need to sloooow it down a little IMO
Jamey Johnson does a slower version, about Little Feat's live speed.
All versions by all bands are good!
no one does it like lowell and thats the way it was meant to be, I'm sorry to say that because it is a beautiful song but no one can beat lowell's calm demeanor
Daniel Lobo cool in my book
Nice !
Foda demais mano
Oooo, thanks for sharing!!
sweet family robinson
weed, whites and wine.......

Momma Hated Diesels by Comander Cody & The Lost Planet Airmen is kinda purrtie too!
The Abyss brought me here.
bit more our style???what do you reckon.?
RIP Tom petty
Wow
LOVE THE CROWES BUT THINK THIS SONG BEST SUNG BEST BY "GREG ALLMAN" ON SOUTHERN BLOOD ALBUM/CD NEW RELEASE AFTER HIS PASSING CHECK IT OUT SOUNDS REALLY GREATTHE WHOLE ALBUM IS GREAT.
Gregg does "Willin"? Gotta check that out!
Canela.
Even better than Jamey Johnson's.....
Damn. Just get Chris some white overalls, a strat, and a craftsman 11/16 deep socket
Patrick Robinson real men play a led paul
@NCSpacey19 with you
Imho, this is one of the very few covers of this song that actually works. Most are way to sophisticated.
Not in Lowell or Linda's emotional league - but a nice try.

dave lastman. Let my horse step on your foot and you can make that sound.
yes, I would call it over singing or overplaying
Me
Linda and Lowell made it sound natural. 'Cause Lowell loved her and she was always on the road via Tucson. These guys just try too hard get cool.
commander Cody's version kick this and all other covers ass's
Brittany Caudill Actually, Lowell George and Little Feat did (do) this song better, seeing as how Lowell wrote it.
just because they wrote it doesn't mean they "did" it better. Most of the time the cover is not as good but in this case it was better. Also that's why I said kicks all other "covers" ass.

I like the Blackberry smoke version better.
already said but... Id rather hear the Crowes cover just about any song in the world than hear the original.
Meh to these crowes - I'll have Linda instead.
Jim Chance
I like her version better, but overall she doesn't hold a candle musically to the Crowes.
@@da324 You're kidding, right?
I think it fits more for men, because imagining Linda as a female truck driver doesn't work as well for me. Also the lyrics generally fit not so much for a woman I would say. But it's just my opinion...
Jim Chance, I’ll take the band that wrote 99.99% of their own material as opposed to the artist who just sang songs written for her to sing. Creativity with grace trumps just a pretty voice... for me anyways
there's just WAY too much shit goin' on here....mando/slide/piano/cymbal crashes/shuffling drums.....hot mess. Let's all solo at once shall we !?!?!?!?!
yes for god's sake,we can only listen to one instrument at a time
take your ritalin
This is horrible. You people that like this are out of touch
well out of touch ! thumbs up to his comments everyone .
the voice doesn't match with the music.
+Valentina Sacco really? i can't help but ask.....what kind of voice would you prefer for a cover? Linda Rondstatt?
+david browning hahaha Linda Rondstatt! That is great.
+david browning Hell yeah.
Peggy Miller funny thing is, her cover is actually my favorite. haha
Mine too.
