ILL-USTRATED SONGS#2 : Ruby, Dont Take...

As sick and lame (literally as well as lyrically) as the Kenny Rogers version was, it only gets worse via Walter Brennan. Who do you feel sorrier for; this wrinkled anti-semitic old geezer, or the girl who is told to sit around watching him dry-rot?
Brennan's raspy, expressive voice evokes instant sympathy for him the first time you hear it. Second time, the sympathy's all for Ruby, consarn it! Just look at the picture!
