That was great, Mal, loved the rhythm and dynamics on this one.

62

Really enjoyed that Mal. And with your intro and your percussive strumming it definitely suits singer/songwriter style and doesn’t need a band. Harmonies from Lara now, that would be nice :wink:

It certainly did, Mal, with sweet acenting using mix of clear, muted and percussive strumming.

Sadly I don’t know the full album, it will be on my list to seek out and listen to the full thing. I first heard the song on a generic blues compilation cd I bought back in the 90’s and I’ve loved the track ever since.

73

That was really great! I loved your performance and found that the strumming was perfect for this song (it also sounds like it would go great with a couple of Grateful Dead songs - Aiko, Aiko and Women are Smarter).

The version of this song that I know best is the live version from Waiting for Columbus which includes a huge band. I really enjoy the interplay between instruments on that version, but the song basically becomes a vehicle for improvisation. In your version the basics of the song really shine through. Nicely done!

Yes, I liked that.

76

Thanks Rob, pleased you enjoyed my version. The intro is taken from the album you mention which is a great album, by a great collection of musicians. I do enjoy both versions though, but the live performance is something else. :grinning: :smiley:

77

Thank you Scott.

78

Thanks Mal, all the best bud.

Mal, it was a pleasure to listen. I don’t know the song, but I like it very much. I liked the rhythm, the dynamics and the percussive aspect, and yes, I noticed the shuffle! Good job!
