I’ll keep this short: this take on the Simon and Garfunkel classic ‘The Boxer’ by Jerry Douglas and Mumford and Sons is absolutely perfect. Not a lot more to say about it than that. Go ahead and hit play- I think you’ll agree.
Jerry Douglas will be releasing his new album Traveler next week, which features collaborations with the likes of Eric Clapton and Keb Mo’ in addition to Mumford and Sons. Enjoy.

Very well done. This song is one of my oldest loves. The first song (in English) I could sing by heart, word-perfect. 🙂
I really love the stanza that they sang in the concert in Central Park. It’s not on here, they only sang it that one time.
“And I am older than I once was
And younger than I’ll be
that’s not unusual.
No, it ain’t strange that
After changes upon changes
We are more or less the same
After changes, we are more or less the same.”
Nice, ey?
Oh, you know, not bad I guess…. ha. That’s a helluva ‘throw in’ verse.
Here it is:
This is going to be on repeat all day. Love.
