EVERY WORD YOU SAY
Jesse Winchester was a great American songwriter who moved to Canada in the ’60s to avoid the draft, began his career there, and was able to tour in the States starting 1977 after President Jimmy Carter pardoned all the draft dodgers. Winchester died on April 11 at the age of 69. His songs were adopted by lots of other performers, notably (in my experience) Emmylou Harris. His own records are terrific, especially the first one, which was produced by Robbie Robertson. Jerry Garcia also covered another Jesse Winchester song, “Biloxi,” but that one has never been released.
