Battle of the Bands: Sunday Morning Coming Down

 Kris Kristofferson passed away Sunday you can visit my tribute post here, Since he passed on a Sunday same as his song Sunday Morning Coming Down would fit for a Battle of the Bands.


As you know I select two covers, and you pick the one you like the best in the comments. This time I am providing three choices. Sometimes it is good to break the rules, feeling kind of like an outlaw. Eventually usually in about a week I count the votes and post about the winer.

Contender One: Johnny Cash


Contender Two: Waylon Jennings


Contender Three: Willie Nelson


See you soon down this musical highway as we pay tribute to the Highwaymen.

These are all unique to the artist but I'm actually going with Waylon Jennings because I like the style a bit more than Cash. I really like the orchestra.

Another devastating loss in the music world! 😢 All three covers were good, but it's Waylon's more "operatic" version that appealed to me the most. I did a BOTB tribute as well, but using a different song.

Always liked this song and think I've heard all these artists do better versions, but maybe I'm confused. Based on what you presented in your Battle I'm going to go with Johnny Cash.

VOTE = WILLIE NELSON

Seems like sacrilege to vote 'against' Johnny Cash on this song, but I truly enjoy Willie's version much better. ~Ed.

It's the Man in Black for me. Willie's is too draggy and Waylon's voice didn't appeal to me.
