Sitting here absorbing the loss of the incredible Gordon Lightfoot and discovered this gem. What a fantastic cover of a classic. Thank you.

I was 29 when this came out, I’m 52 now and I still listen…one of the best covers ever !😊

I remember when first hearing this great cover in year 2000, still sounds fresh 23 years later!

Definitely. It still sounds fresh to me.

RIP Gordon Lightfoot ✨

I don't usually listen to Rap music, but this is not bad in tribute to the original. Rest in Paradise Gordon.

My 70 yr old mother loved the original version, so I played this for her. She LOVES it. I can't play the original without then playing this version for her.

old enough to remember the original but can appreciate this take on it... respect is due!

My mom worked at Family Video when they gave this away as a trailer on Cassette, along with King Fish. I can't tell you how many times I hit rewind to listen to this.

So sad Mr Lightfoot passed but y'all really showed him respect by doing a great job remixing Sundown. Rock On and Much Respect!

One of the best covers ever made, of any song. Pays homage to the original but is original itself. I’ve always loved this song!

Me three!

I heard this on a tv commercial, 15 years ago. I finally found it. I guess i should not consider detectivework as an occupation.

I'm 60 now. I'm guessing 20 years ago I was working down on Interstate 10 from Katrina running a bridge grinder which Grinders concrete down. My boss kept telling me to listen to this song he found and he was like I know you like it and I was like hell no he was about ten years younger me. Anyway when he put it on I was amazed I was like damn they did the original Justice and maybe a little bit better. But when I could never get over is they never made it not big time but they never made it big even though they did the original if not as good better period and you never heard really nothing else about them down in the southeast. Anyway Elwood y'all did it damn good brother be proud of yourself. And I'll quit rambling but y'all did damn good Brothers!!!!

Absolutely love this version!! Especially the intro with the needle on the vinyl!!!

This is pure brilliance on so many levels

The rare perfect cover. It’s quite faithful, but not so much so that it’s totally unnecessary. Love it.

I think this new take on it revives the older version and shows originality from Elwood. I'm not as old as to appreciate the original version as much as the newer one! Elwood's version is incredible! Love it! It brings back some of my favorite memories! My brother who passed was a HUGE fan of the arts, and he introduced me to this song! It FOREVER is remembered with reverence for his memory!!!

Still one of my top ten fav songs

I love Gordon Lightfoot and this is an AMAZING cover!!! You did DAMN GOOD ELWOOD!! ✊✊

Agreed- The original is classic but GL is essential listening and I think you are totally correct regarding opening the gate to music from the past ( :✨

Reminds me of my son, who is 48 now, playing this version of the Gordon Lightfoot classic when he was single and living at home. I played him the original and we had a great time. He still likes to find samples of rock classics in rap and hip hop tunes and sending them to me for fun. This was from at least 20 years ago, right?

I've been looking for this song about 10~15 years! Thank you -

I gotta say i love it. Still smoothe still mellow like Gordons version but with some stank on it. I feel pretty sure that gordon would be tapping his feet chilin with that big hair saying i like it

I seen Gord play Sundown in person, and I appreciate this.

Born ‘70. Love the original. Still love this one too. Like Little T and One Track Mike’s take on Donavan’s work from the period.

Bought the CD a long Time ago. Still spin it now and then. Good stuff

Been looking for this forever!

Love that 12 string,insane on original. Great tune either way

I grew up with the Gordon Lightfoot version and always loved it. But...IMHO...this version is even better. The interplay between the two vocal parts is brilliant!
