I think it's the dulcimer on this that's so compelling ... at least I think that's what it is!

had this one stuck in my head all day by Aussie singer/songwriter Kevin Johnson.
track was covered by Mac Davis a couple of years after Johnson released it,
thats probably the version y'all know.

Best thing Nick Cave's done, IMHO - with Bruno Coulais - love it ...

The title track from The Wood & The Wire. It's about dreaming of getting your hands on one of those lovely instruments and the joy it brings - a love affair with a stringed thing. And I'm not talking about a G string - just thought I'd slip that in there - in anticipation of potential bawdiness. Lol!

newly remixed/remastered version of this Lennon classic
Instant Karma's gonna get you
Gonna knock you right on the head
You better get yourself together
Pretty soon you're gonna be dead
What in the world you thinking of
Laughing in the face of love
What on earth you tryin' to do
It's up to you, yeah you.
Instant Karma's gonna get you
Gonna look you right in the face
Better get yourself together darlin'
Join the human race
How in the world you gonna see
Laughin' at fools like me
Who in the hell d'you think you are
A super star
Well, right you are.
Well we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
Well we all shine on
Ev'ryone come on.
Instant Karma's gonna get you
Gonna knock you off your feet
Better recognize your brothers
Ev'ryone you meet
Why in the world are we here
Surely not to live in pain and fear
Why on earth are you there
When you're ev'rywhere
Come and get your share.
Well we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
Yeah we all shine on
Come on and on and on on on
Yeah yeah, alright, uh huh, ah.
Well we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
Yeah we all shine on
On and on and on on and on.
Well we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
Well we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
Well we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
Yeah we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun

title track from his movie of the same name.
unmistakeable sound of The Shadows in the music.
topped the charts in at least a dozen countries in 1963.
