Just love Rhiannon for the longest time since as an instrumental guitarist who adores Carolina Chocolate Drops and fell in love w/ Rhiannon there, I'm so thrilled to hear her take on this song givin it a new sound which is beautifully unique. To Rhiannon, I am so enchanted by your lovely emotive voice and alluring vocal soloing which has been so influential to me as a musician. Many thanks and sooo glad to know Rhiannon is still with us hopefully being safe and thankful for gracing musicians and listeners with your music I'll always treasure!
