Then and Now: Episode 19 The Handy Capable Episode
I came across the cover version of this song, and it was a no brainer that I would need to use it.. it's Frank Black. I would need to use it for William's sake, if nothing else. However, I found out the James Taylor version I am familiar with is not the original. The song was originally done in 1960 by Jimmy "Handy Man" Jones. I have to say, I prefer it to the JT version.
Here is the James Taylor version for comparison. I'm not sure he's really all that handy.
But if you ask me, the handiest sounding man of all is definitely Frank. I think I would call him.
