John Travolta - Barbara Allen

The first mention of the folk song "Barbara Allen" is from a diary entry dated January 2nd 1666, so only time knows how old it really is. This fine, if very short version, is a lot younger, actually from the wonderful 2004 film A Love Song For Bobby Long, featuring John Travolta, Scarlett Johansson and others. Set in New Orleans, both the story, the film itself, the acting and the soundtrack is brilliant. You should buy the DVD.
