Blues Run The Game (3:32)

Jackson C. Frank - Blues Run The Game [1965]

Catch a boat to England, baby,
Maybe to Spain,
Wherever I have gone,
Wherever I've been and gone,
Wherever I have gone
The blues have run the game.…

Never heard this before. Glad I heard it today. It came to me right on time.

Not worth mentioning the Simon and Garfunkle version, I suppose? Jackson's is brilliant and there would be no debate without his original.

what jadedlady said but also agree with exileon15th it's a distraction to me, not a complementary line

The guitar accompaniment in the background is off, which is probably why some people don't like it. The song is a melodic song, and someone's playing random blues scales over it, and it doesn't sound right.

I pick this version over Jansch and Drake a million times over (and I adore Jansch and Drake)

Frank's version doesn't lack one little thing. It's one of the most perfect songs and performances ever. The covers I've heard are nice, but none approaches the beauty and intensity of the original. Last.fm lists it as 2:47, but that's the single version; the 3:30 original is much, much better.

This isn't a cover, Jackson C. Frank wrote this song. Bert Jansch's version is the cover. You might prefer Bert's version but give Jackson his credit at least.

gimme Bert. This is just a cover and lacks something.
