I just discovered this! I was listening to a vid for one of my favorite musicians, Michael Hurley. His song "I Paint a Design" had a comment by someone saying they discovered that song by watching the short film (which you can find on TH-cam) "The Accountant". So I watched the film, which I think is excellent, and I discovered this here song which opens the film. Michael Hurley's awesome song closes the film. Funny how we discover things!
"Mack The Knife" has an interpreting version of many jazz stars, but without a question Jimmie nailed this ONE DOWN. I could listen to this for hours. I truly love it.
A really fantastic rendition of "Mack the Knife", including those guitar 'sounds' [are they called riffs?] when somebody plays that guitar and it just sounds like a shark "knifing" and "diving" through the water and then biting and gobbling on the poor soul who is the victim ... Oh boy! This is illustrative music at its very best and it would not have been out of place in the original recordings of the Whole Opera! Rock on Jimmie Dale Gilmore!
those upbeat versions drive me crazy -- do those folks even listen to what they're saying -- this version captures the menace of a sociopath . . . great rendition.
minberger: The best. Haven't listened to this in years. So glad to have found it again. It truly does sends shivers up your spine. Which is what it was meant to do, right? Always nice to find someone who knows about real music! Take care.😼🎶💖

@@garyives1218 : AGREED! Loved seeing your comment. I'm listening to it again. I'll have to look for the film you mentioned. Thanks so much! Take Care!😽🎶💖
@@kittykane2058 OMG! Been listening to more of his stuff. Had to share that his version of Grateful Dead's "Ripple" is treasure......in case ya hadn't heard
A tip for everyone who likes this song. It's on the soundtrack for a short film called "The Accountant". If you search TH-cam, it's the only thing that ISN'T from the Ben Affleck film. Do yourself a favor and watch this tragic short. An amazing film.
DedhedWaldo Walton goggins dude amazingly also RIP ray McKinnon’s wife Lisa , she was the mastermind of so much we are enjoying now she didn’t get to live to see the empire of her creativity thrive, but it is. It’s nice she got an academy award but she hated those industry boys . Love her.
Now I have heard the beast version of this song... I still want more though there must be a way to do this song, forgive me for saying it but it has never been done in a way that holds up to the content...
Amayzing track.....découverte (comme beaucoup), dans le film, "un prophète", qui voit les débuts d'un futur grand, TAHAR RAHIM...Le film recevra de nombreuses récompenses, dont plusieurs a CANNES, meilleur second rôle (mérité) pour NIELS, et meilleur real pour AUDIARD......(JACQUES le fils du parolier, scenariste et realisateur de génie, qu'était son père, MICHEL AUDIARD durant les décennies précédentes....)

What would franky say .now let's here to Sir with love .lol.its hard to crit.jimmie they admit they were awful at the start but cont.so long they just got better and better .most bands are opposite of that
A prophet was such a great movie.
Best version ever. Shame it's not on the spotify
Such a great tune. Also the film A Prophet drove me to check this song out.
Same here
from the haunting guitar in the background to a vocal that defies interpretation this is by far the best version I have heard ever, keep coming back.

Gilmore gives the song a haunting quality that makes it sound like it was intended. The layers are beautifully crafted
"Mack The Knife" has an interpreting version of many jazz stars, but without a question Jimmie nailed this ONE DOWN. I could listen to this for hours. I truly love it.
Me too !
I want to listen and sing to this every day, the rest of my life...
arguably the best rendition of the song, truly captures the spirit..... LOVE IT
This is one of the best versions of this song I have ever heard...and I've heard a few - eerie and mournful and a little bit kooky!
God! What a hauntingly beautiful take on this classic song. ❤
One the best movies ever!
Best version by far and prophet out of sight
I wish Jimmie would move to Maine so He’d play more often up here. Love that style and voice.
Un prophète !
best version ever!
love this version...instead of the upbeat versions.........great
Over the line! Best Version of this song. Love it!

"What are you? Some kind of prophet?"
you're coming back from far...
Putain tu reviens de loin toi !
@@deff9436 "mais non mais va y avoir des animaux là !"
who are you ? Their belly dancer ? Uh? Answer me !
found my new favorite song
Probably the BEST cover version of this classic tune, even Bobby Darrin's
Malik the prophet
"there's gonna be animals !"
This is truly inspiring and beautiful.
You were right ~ sitting in on Johnny Hughes couch ~ so many years ago
those upbeat versions drive me crazy -- do those folks even listen to what they're saying -- this version captures the menace of a sociopath . . . great rendition.

@@codyi5232, I like yer style, dude.
Stunning.
Awesome!Best cover ever!👍
{I'm at a loss for words!}
I completely agree with the previous comment. Haunting. Knocks Bobby Darrin out of the park. Helps if you see the movie its in.
Good Lord, what a recording. JDG and Dave Alvin in Oregon next month. Can't wait!
This is spellbinding.
my mother loved the original.
god rest her soul. heres to you, mum.
my mum,too. god rest.
Very unique voice quivering yet haunting...

Very interesting version. I like it a lot. Thanks for posting.
Che meraviglia 👍👍👍👏👏👏👏
Je m'accorde à cette chansson, très bon,très fort.
Totally different and very interesting. I did the Bobby version nearly sixty years ago. Wow.

Je t'aime Souléima .

Great version...VERY close to the original in "Three Penny Opera"
Superbes ,tellement de l'original est de qui
Cette chanson est magnifiée par le film et inversement....
There's something about this song that makes me think of President Vladimir Putin. I can't think why...
+Hounslow GP because VP somehow looks JD around his eyes and his nose!I think that might be.
Or else the way so many people end up dead - and, of course, there is no evidence against either VP or Mack the Knife. ..
that is all tall. if everybody would just sneak around the corner every so often. thank you.
Excellent !
he's just in no rush at all here
it's called music. maybe you're in a rush bud.
The question is: Does God believe in me?
