Erikoisen kuuloinen, tuo Barbaran lauluääni.
Itse pidän eniten Tarja Ylitalon versiosta.

Barbaran ääni on tumma ja lämmin. Tämä on ehdottomasti kaunein ja paras kuulemani tulkinta "Four Strong Winds - Neljä vahvaa tuulta" -kappaleesta! Kiitoksia oikein paljon!
Olen samoilla linjoilla Toivon kanssa:)) Paras tulkinta
Biisistä on tehty suomeksi myös toinen versio, Anki, Bosse & Robertin Missä laulaa voi tuulet, jonka tekstillä ei ole yhteyttä alkuperäiseen. Hieno teksti kuitenkin, ja hieno on esityskin. Molempien sanoittaja on Saukki.
