Some people just reinterpret songs well. I think it tends to show up after the first few years of a career. Johnny Cash. Ray Charles. Frank Sinatra. They had an ability to put a new meaning into a song.
Ronstadt's arranger on this one slows it down, giving both the guitar work and the emotion of her voice more prominence. I like Merle Haggard's original version a lot, but I like this one better.
