I just heard a version of L&M on Ohio Public Radio by some one named Tweedy who is/ was affiliated with the (Jayhawks???)

A country rock sort of version....nice....not bad at all.....slight lyric change to fit the country feel  "I WAS SITTIN IN A SMOKY BAR ETC"

Anybody else heard this or am I just the last to discover it?

It's by Golden Smog, a supergroup of sorts featuring some musicians who were considered alt-country back when people said that. Jeff Tweedy, the frontman from Wilco, is the guy who sings. They did a version in the late 90s, though he performed it at least occasionally while stumping for Obama last summer and fall.

Golden Smog is one of my favorite bands. I can highly recommend "Down By The Old Mainstream" and "Weird Tales"., although neither contain that version of Love and Mercy.
Not sure if I am supposed to do this but what the hell.....give it a listen
