When I heard the Band's version of this on their first album, I thought it was some old song into which they had breathed new life. At least that is the way that it sounded. Years later I learned that the song was consciously written in an older style.
It is still a great song, and I will post the Band's version on my Google+ Collection. But here is a link to the story behind the song:

Since I finished Robbie Robertson's Testimony today, I feel a few more posts that are Band-flavored.
