I first heard that version on John Peel, & his words after it are still in my head
"It's the barely suppressed anger that makes that record so great"
It was in his 'Festive 50', in the year of its release, & I think, in his top-100
I've still got my 12" single of it
That was going to be a suggestion of mine, an absolutely superb track
How about his 'Christmas 1914'??
Bruce Springsteen & The E-Street Band??
Steve Earle & The Dukes (along with The Pogues), from the 'Copperhead Road' LP
