Lindsey Buckingham? I dunno, maybe. Then again, I've seen any number of similar stylists...
I really like it when the (sounds like) dobro kicks in, midway through the bridge. The key changes at the end of each phrase make it a little difficult to sing along to, if you're used to the original TV version; but, I like to think I'm big enough to adapt to this minor change 
.
I like this version so much, in fact, that it has been my ringtone since the mp3 first became available, slightly before the release of the DVD... (NB: Trimmed to the verse before the bridge through the final note, and it's still too long.)
A final thought: During the movie, just before Mal and Book's "they sidle up and smile" dialog, Jayne is pictured playing guitar by the fireside, at the end of a very similar piece of guitar music... Anybody else have a sneaking suspicion that this might be Adam Baldwin and a buddy playing this uncredited BoS?
Probably not. But it's an interesting notion, isn't it? I'm not a guitarist, but I've stood drenched in sweat for 4 hours a night next to a few, for like, 10 years. It sure looks like he knows how to play at least a little. If not, it's a convincing fake-job...
Chord-ially,

What I meant was, if there's an acoustic version, there are instrumentals in it (yes unplugged, though I thought that term only referred to intruments that usually use an amp and in the unplugged version the amp is discarded, so to speak) :-P cuz I don't really think you can say something is acoustic unless it has some sort of instrument attached to it i.e. an acoustic guitar ;-)

I'm pretty sure that's what he was playing. I've seen several others say the same. Thing is, while I heard it right off in the theater, I've never been able to hear it on the DVD. Does that seem right to you?
