Very nice, sir. ER

Lovely stuff, Mr Russe. Your voice is sounding very cool indeed. Great control - great story telling, showed off perfectly in this stripped down arrangement. Lala, x.

outstanding cover, fantastic vocals.

Excellent

Ooh I love a little Rocker !!!

Yep agree Cool man

Really like this one mate.

This is great!

Really cool cover.

Really cool mate.

Really nice song Andy, I've often thought that one man and a guitar is the hardest thing to put over. There's nowhere to hide. No need to worry about this. If I had only read the lyrics it would be enough, to have them to music is a bonus.

Perfect to start the day. Thank you.

Apllause......beautiful command. I could here your voice in film music. Great once again AR.

Poetry . . . Well crafted, and superbly delivered.

A beauty of song beautifully performed Bravo.....

It's three mics. A Rode NT1000 large condensor for the vocal. The guitar had two SM57s on it, one at the 12th fret, one just below the bridge, panned hard left and right. If I had more condensors I'd use them on the guitar - when I track things separately I always use the Rode on an acoustic (unless it's a resonator, that pushes a condensor too hard) - using the 57s like this seems to produce are fair amount of hiss!

sounds great. What microphone are you using?

If I had a pound for every time I played this I could probably buy a very nice Gibson, but I would love to have done it just like this. I bet this was closer to how it was written.

Nice take on a great cover.

Nice job Andrew! I really like the laid back feel to it. Your voice is especially good. Great cover of a great song.

More roars... What a voice you have Mrs Smith. Many years ago I knew someone who could do this kinda thing. Me and my drummwer used to sit at the foot of her mic stand at her gigs, she sat at the foot of my mic stand at ours ... we only spoke to each other once, just to say "hi" lol

James beat me to it with the "mid range" comment on the new guitar. Loved that roar from you :)

Love it. It was one of my favourite songs when I was little. This is a gorgeous version - I was expecting a more "wailing" version, which is what I'm used to... so this was a surprise. It's superb.

A wonderful song. Love the "a crown and its frog"

Woo! This is a bit of departure from your recent stuff - wasn't expecting this at all. I'd forgotten that you'll take on anything! Nice one.

Gorgeous vocal on a very fine song. Really interesting story to go with it.

Oh yes. I'm with Kirk on this. Fabulous.

My oh my this sounds good.

WOOOF! This is a live one isn't it?? Superb stuff. When I was playing live there was two types of sax players: 1. "oh sh1t, does he really have to jam with us, guys?" and 2. "tell you what, I won't bother playing any guitar solos tonight, the sax man can do it all" You'd be in the second category. Superb :)

Listened to a good few ("Smooth" down here to Hope) while fixing a table before the in-laws come round. I don't listen to this kind of stuff much, but WOW what a band... really enjoyed it. You guys must be absolutely great live.

Ooooh yeah... smooth as flip. Fine horn playing, very tasty...

Both southern... ... and comforting :)

Yep, I think I prefer this version. It's real close though - I think it's one of those where the artist hears a big difference and the rest of us go yeah, cool... lol

Listened to all four - fabulous stuff. Hope you're coming back one day.

Cool song - fabulous vocals.

Nice slide.

This sounds mighty fine. Loving the piano.

Nice one. Have a good day on Saturday, and a relaxing time on the cruise... See you on the flip side :)

You're certainly wringing yer £16 worth out of that thing. Excellent stuff.

This is the business. Love the slide, love the vocal, what's not to like? :)
