I Don't Want To Talk About It



I love following the perfect songs from version to version over time. These Days, Willin', Ruby, etc. - so many of them. This one was written by Danny Whitten, founding member of Crazy Horse. The orig can be heard on their self titled LP. Whitten was in bad shape and lost himself to drugs and depression so early - he would have been a bigtime dude if he had it together. This Rod version sort of cracks me up. Ian Matthews does a great version, too.
