Talk:Tim Rose
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Long Time man?
This article refers to Rose's Long Time Man becoming a standard. While this is true of Hey Joe & Morning Dew, both having been covered hundreds of times, I am not aware that it is true of Rose's Long Time Man. Can you cite examples apart from Nick Cave?
You may be aware that Rose's LTM is based loosely on a "traditional" work-song. He cut a "trad." version with the Big 3, and there is at least one Lomax recording from the 30s or 40s of convicts singing this. Perhaps the reference to the song being a "standard" is a confusion of the trad. version and Rose's original song?

I think you have a good point here - the song is a standard, but it seems the Tim Rose version has only been recorded by Nick Cave. I will change the text to reflect that.
