Crowell recorded the song in 1978 on his debut album '' Ain't Living Long Like This'', and since then, the song has been covered by several other artists.

Room To Roam
''Room to Roam'' is the fifth studio album by The Waterboys; it continued the folk rock sound of 1988's ''Fisherman's Blues'', but was less of a commercial success, reaching #180 on the ''Billboard'' Top 200 after its release in September 1990. Critical response continues to be mixed. Allmusic describes it both as "not quite as usicallysuccessful" as ''Fisherman's Blues'', but also as a "Celtic rock classic". The front and back covers were designed by Simon Fowler based upon photography by Stefano Giovannini and Sean Jackson. ''Room to Roam'' is named after a passage in a George MacDonald book, ''Phantastes''. The cover photography was done by Simon Fowler, and designed by Anni Siggins. The album was recorded at Spiddal House in Galway, where the last recording sessions from the preceding album, ''Fisherman's Blues'', had been recorded. ''Room to Roam'' would be the last of The Waterboys' folk-rock sound until the release of ''Universal Hall'' in 2003. Fiddler Steve Wickham, w ...

The Waterboys
The Waterboys are a folk rock band formed in Edinburgh in 1983 by Scottish musician Mike Scott. The band's membership, past and present, has been composed mainly of musicians from Scotland, Ireland, Wales and England. Mike Scott has remained as the only constant member throughout the band's career. They have explored a number of different styles, but their music is mainly a mix of folk music with rock and roll. They dissolved in 1993 when Scott departed to pursue a solo career. The group reformed in 2000, and continue to release albums and to tour worldwide. Scott emphasises a continuity between The Waterboys and his solo work, saying that "To me there's no difference between Mike Scott and the Waterboys; they both mean the same thing. They mean myself and whoever are my current travelling musical companions." The early Waterboys sound became known as "The Big Music" after a song on their second album, ''A Pagan Place''. This style was described by Scott as "a metaphor for se ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

B-side
The A-side and B-side are the two sides of phonograph records and cassettes; these terms have often been printed on the labels of two-sided music recordings. The A-side usually features a recording that its artist, producer, or record company intends to be the initial focus of promotional efforts and radio airplay and hopefully become a hit record. The B-side (or "flip-side") is a secondary recording that typically receives less attention, although some B-sides have been as successful as, or more so than, their A-sides. Use of this language has largely declined in the 21st century as the music industry has transitioned away from analog recordings towards digital formats without physical sides, such as CDs, downloads and streaming. Nevertheless, some artists and labels continue to employ the terms ''A-side'' and ''B-side'' metaphorically to describe the type of content a particular release features, with ''B-side'' sometimes representing a "bonus" track or other material.
