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.

Nice!

Passionate, emotional, gripping, and huge - all words found in my dictionary to describe this. Thanks, Andrew. G:)

Great vocals! and a real FEEL version of a great tune ...

a really really nice retelling of a great song!! your vocal and playing is so rich

Epic, your vocals are quite theatrical (in a good way) :)

Back again....

This would bring the room down! Set it on fire! Killer!

..dynamic vocal and slowed down bluesy essence..don't know why you bother with all the other instrumentation when you breath life into a song the way you do with just a bit of plunkin' 'n' gruntin' ..excellent..

One of my favorite songs too! I like how you belted it out. That's the ticket. You can feel the grit in there. Well Done!

Epicly awesome! Great hook! Great lines! No stinker! G:)

Getting into the groove. Quality across the board! Cheers, A! G:)

Hi Andrew, another winner. This has it all, vocals,playing and production. Love it.

Right up my street,alley,passage or whatever interconnecting construct passes my crib.....nice one ...love the bouncy tempo and the gravelly vox....Paolo Nutini who?........

Her hunting crop....love the lyrics...;)

well, i agree with much of what has already be said,, this is realllly a great piece of rock!! very well done and recorded,, very clear love listening to all the parts r

Did I not fave this last time?? **FIXED**

AH! Here it is :) And it's INSPIRED! Love what you've done with the piano - I wondered how you'd deal with making an arrangement... And the vox - woof! Well, if Percy doesn't want to play, perhaps Mr Page ought to get in touch with you?

Now this one got me thinking... perhaps you should dip into the Howling Wolf catalogue itself? You've got the voice for it. Tasty blues vocal.

Whereas this one on IV... always liked it. Quite surprised how much I like it without all the bombast. Cool version.

OK, I admit it, I don't really hold Led Zeppelin IV in the reverence many LZ fans do! I guess this song is one of the reasons for that... I'll give you A- on this one(!) but it's mainly the material you're forced to work with - tell them Page/Plant guys to buck their ideas up! hehe

Wasn't too sure where this was going during the intro, then when the vocals started I saw it all... This is a FABULOUS version. I've always had a love/hate/indifference relationship with this song. It's one of the few where Robert Plant's lyrics got in the way for me. But you carry it off superbly. At 5:26 I was left thinking "why isn't there more?"

Wooo! Rockin. Nice one guys.

The anon verse is gorgeous - and you matched it. Lovely stuff.

That's the stuff. I'm with Merry Bear over that banjo.

Yep :-) What a vocal.

Brilliant!

Love it.

And this gets the toes tapping.

Like the insistent riff on this.

Real nice. I'll have slice :) (Actually, it's made me realise, I don't get cherry pie round here, Mrs R doesn't like it... hmmm)

Just realised that I didn't make it obvious in the blurb... I was actually doing my utmost to sound like early ZZ Top once I'd realised what was happening. The vox and instrumental got performed and recorded with that in mind. So I'm kinda relieved/gratified that folks can spot the ZZ Top in there!!

Woo! That's quite spacey.

Perfect end to a hard day spent watching the men install our new boiler... (I did manage to restring a strat and a tele while they were doing it)

Woo! Cool album :-)

Aww love it to bits. The lyrics and their delivery are superb. I'm liking the wandering between major and minor in the chords.
