The actual song isn’t bad and in fact is an old classic. It’s just the performance. I don’t think it’s that Eamon isn’t American, but his voice sounds too stilted, like he’s giving a bad reading of Shakespeare. He sounds exactly like a terrible actor delivering his lines. To hear how it should be done, listen to Jim Reeves’ version.
