I can clearly remember playing chess with a friend with the newly purchased LP playing in the background and being riveted by the whole arrangement. I may well have lost the chess game or resigned - it was no longer important. The electric guitar was the crowning moment of the track. The way it is handled is so beautiful and tasteful I feel it should be required listening for anyone contemplating using an electric guitar in traditional folk music.
Still my favourite version of Franklin.
As someone else says in the other Franklin thread running on Mudcat:John Renbourn might not have the greatest voice but the way he sings the song has something special.
