Two nights ago I dreamed this sad version of Help!
Today I put it down just to see what it sounds like. One mic, one take, one guitar, and one very dry voice.
Not intending to be self-deprecating, but if anyone with actual musical talent…
If you find this, please take a listen to the version posted on this site by Andrew Russe from 2012.
Stunning. Goosebumps. His one-man-one-guitar interpretation is now the definitive version of this song for me.
So this isn't just a Procol…
This is a mighty cool version Mike. And thanks for the shout out!
I've always loved this song since I first heard it in the early 70s. In the early 80s we (a blues rock band) kept getting asked to play it. I cannot remember whether we actually gave in. But I learnt it the way I play it now in the 90s. I still play it regularly sat on the sofa (it's about the only song I know all the way through, including my own!!) - I sing it to my wife who looks on indulgently!! lol
There's a story behind this that's uninteresting to anyone but me. A short version is that my old, broken guitar (made semi-immortal with duct tape and instrumental willpower) needed to play this Dylan song before it is laid to rest.

One of my favourite songs off Blood On The Tracks and you have covered it so well. Cool expressive vocal and those banjo solos sort of add a poignancy. Good job mate.

Tear-stained skin weathers resting near as the sun is born
A sacrament to visions of sorrow and seasons of remorse
Butterflies disturb the light with dance
Flowers sway and gently bend
Beckoning with soul the wind
Life brings another chance…
WOW! That is one beautiful song. The lyrics are lovely poetry and the recording nice and clear. I like how you have panned the acoustic guitars and also the laid-back vocal performance. Great work.
every moment
each day
searching
for something
someone
to feel
know
care
every face
each friend
rejection
and its too much
too much
too much
to bear
it's been a long
long
time coming
it's a long
long
way home
every moment
each inch of time…

This is a silly song I wrote 35 years ago for a crush. For some reason today felt like the day to record it.
The way that mountains shape the horizon
The way that lightning lights the sky
The way that ice cream makes you shiver
The way…
If this sounds like it was recorded in a single take on a $7 USB microphone, and then cheesy audacity reverb thrown in, that's because it was.
The old guitar and its player are both on their last legs, but unpacking after a move it beckoned…

Digging through and deleting some old things, found this old thing that felt like it needed a rescue. There's probably a story behind it, but that's long, long forgotten.

I strapped on my acoustic and had a go with this great song. Recorded in one go straight into my Boss microBR built in mic. No fussing around wit this one.
Reg went to a funeral of an old friend the other day. He then went for a drink in the cellar and got chatting with Vincent Price and Elvis about life being just a game that you couldn't win no matter how well you played . Reg started jamming over…
I was taken aback, really, expecting, "The Crying Game." Goes to show you should wear your glasses even to listen to music.
Too clever too be depressing. I like it.
An unusual traditional tune from the first Scartaglen album way back in 1984. Going through stuff the other day and ran across the LP and couldn't even remember the tune or having recorded it. I played guitar on this track

A simple mind
not evil or unkind
had lost it's sight
of anything but it's spot in the night
the words should have been unsaid
what they did can't be undone…
Faith is assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.
When Faith goes to the market, it always takes a basket.
The beginning of anxiety is the end of faith and the beginning of faith is the end of anxiety. [George Mueller…
Kinda rough. I'm uploading this mainly to share a guitar technique I've been working on. I'm wearing a slide on my picking hand and using it to alter pitches in single line phrases. There's a lot more can be done with this technique that I've…
Awesome. I hadn't read the description and couldn't figure out what was going on here. Very David Gimour in both tone and quality. Would love to see a glimpse of what you're doing.

Nice….y’know tat ol’ Lennon intended this to be slow. Nice rasp.

This is the perfect nod to a beat up guitar. Thank you

Great sound, great production, great tone, great vocals... great.
This is crazy awesome stuff. Where have you been hiding?
Way cool and kind of spooky. I always was afraid of middle kids.
Mr. Bojangles meets meaning.... Awesome.
I wasn't too freaked out until 3:45 when Chef stepped in. Awesome.
Kept the feeling of the original. I'm a sucker for a good Floyd cover!
And the ending is extra super double freakin' awesome! Great, cute tune.
Fantastic. Great lyrics. Strangely Beatlesque.
Good jam. I really love the running bass. Poor old Mary. ;(
Looked to see who else has a cover of this. Just fantastic.
Touching. You are beautiful.
Great job. I love this, along with Danny Boy. Something about the beauty and the timelessness of both songs.

Catchy little tune. I like!
I'm usually not a fan of a big celtic sound, but this is just amazing. Beautiful and happy. This really moves me.
Fantastic tune. Took me right back to sitting in the dark last night with my scotch....
Improv or not, this is really awesome.
Haunting, but bold and jazzy. I really like this. Thanks for sharing.
oO
