message: A fuller list of recorded versions of this song at http://bruce.orel.ws/seegersessions/songs/long_black_veil.html
Should this link be added to the article?
The list appearing in the Wikipedia article includes Bob Dylan, Stanley Brothers & others with no year, album or citation, & these are not corroborated by the website above.

thread_title:  Full List of Versions 

message: In at least two versions of this song, by the Band and Mick Jagger w/ the Chieftains, the accused testifies that he was with his best friend's wife: "I spoke my word, for it meant my life..." The meaning, then, is completely different form what is stated in the article. Out of shame she has failed to back him up, has let him die, regrets it, and regularly visits his grave.

thread_title: Failure to confirm the accused's alibi

message: The intro describes it as a "saga song" as if that is a thing, but there is no wiki page for that term.  It seems that either a linked page should exist or there should be a brief clause explaining what that means.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.255.145.95 (talk) 20:16, 11 September 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  Long black veil 

message: There are a few notable inaccuracies in the article regarding the April 20, 1959 (Columbia 4-41384) single release of Lefty Frizzell’s recording of “Long Black Veil”. 
1) The song is titled “The Long Black Veil” on the label of the master release. “The” is included on each release of the single that year. This can be cited to the media themself available in photograph on sites like Discogs and in the Library of Congress.
2) None of the pressed singles released in 1959 have the B-side “When It Rains The Blues”. Every release of the single actually includes “Knock Again, True Love”, even the Philips release in Netherlands.
I hope these can be fixed in near future. 2600:6C60:6F00:2A3:19D3:4527:398:8B4 (talk) 23:58, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
