Slightly to my surprise, I quite enjoyed that. It’s one of those songs that’s so great that it can survive quite a variety of interpretation.

Overall a great cover, they definitely do it justice.

The instrumentation is lovely and the arrangement faithful to the original.

Its definitely sung with passion, although personally I find the singers voice to be a bit to smooth/sweet for the song.

I prefer a little gravel in the voice of a dying soldier  ;)

Very good though.

A great analysis and a great cover, I would add that radically different versions are always welcome and this last instrument really sounds like a slide guitar from Pink Floyd's "High Hopes" :lol

all three instruments are variants from fiddle. ("vièle" or "vielle" in french)

- the instrument that plays Mark's guitar phrases is a "nyckelharpa". it comes from Suede
- the instrument on the left side is a "morin khuur". it comes from Mongolia
- the instrument on the right side is a "erhu ". it comes from China

the guitarist/singer is Mathias Duplessy. He has recorded albums of classical guitar, jazz guitar, etc...



the album features another cover : "the good the bad and the ugly" :

I can't paste the YT playlist link without automatically embedding the first video in the post, and it don't show the playlist link


So, on YT, search "Mathias Duplessy" : https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=mathias+duplessy


and on the right bottom, you have the two previous albums "Crazy Horse" and "Marco Polo"
