Yeah, this is my favorite version (with all due respect to the legendary Richard Thompson). I saw The Del McCoury Band play this about 20 years ago. Amazing harmonies!

It’s become a staple for McCoury’s band. Great live. The version I linked was kind of tepid

That same album, Rumour and Sigh, also has a LOVELY song called…Keep Your Distance 
One of my personal favorites from an artist who can almost do no wrong in my ears.
