I really like Iron and Wine and this song is a particular favorite. A really good attempt at covering someone who I think is probably harder to cover than he sounds.

He is hard to cover, guitar wise there is nothing too complex but his vocal style is tricky, especially when combined with things such as moving guitar bass lines, it took me several takes to get it, I must record some more of his songs, they are brilliant

I liked the change of style, pace and rhythm (not too keen on the reverb level though LOL)

At the risk of being chucked off this site, I like a little reverb! There I have said it, it not like I had any respect to loose.

I am a bit of a reverb fiend it’s true! Ok my next recording is going to be reverb free, that’ll be a shock to the system!

newdave: I was disappointed too but I don't think I'll really feel it until next year, when it will suddenly become all too real. Nov 8, 2024 19:52:53 GMT
