Stunning. No other words!

@TheMadman_tobyjenner

Guys this was an awesome production and collab (and that’s a word this old boy uses sparingly). Mike was on fire. LBro great vox on this one, no nits from me for going low. Great harmonies from Leo, they worked really and I suspect the Croc took care of all the other ancillary parts.

WWM go from strength to strength. well done guys !

Hey Toby,
Thanks for the use of the big word to describe how you liked this one! Thanks for the shout out on the guitar and vox work! Croc was at his best and I felt this is one of best mixes to date!

All the best to you and I hope the wife is well!

@Mari63

That was spectacular, playing, vox, production and scenery! Jeff Healey’s version of this song is my favorite, and the 3 of you have done a fine cover of it.

Hi Mari!
Thanks for the kind words and glad you liked the scenic video! I thought I liked the Beatles version better. But listening to Mike nail this one, I have to say this versions rocks!

All the best to you and be well!

@Kasper

Awesome job from all of you! Vocals were great, very much on-pitch, and Mike did some mighty fine lead work on this one! This version of the song is my own favorite, but I was always too intimidated by Jeff’s playing to give it a shot. Very difficult to play those licks, because of the way Jeff plays. Mike did a great job of interpreting them as a “normal” guitar player.

Hi Kasper,
Thanks so much on the kind words you used!

You bring up a great point on the playing of the solo work being a tough one due to the playing style of JH! I had not thought of that till you said it and it makes perfect sense! Good call out on this one!

Take good care and be well mate!

Leo, Mike and LBro, that was brilliant. Great production, singing and playing. When you guys get together magic happens.

Nice video too.

[Rossco01]

Great job everyone all very polished as normal and of course a great song. Loved the video too.

[adi_mrok]

There is definitely no gentle weeping from Mike’s guitar, more like screaming his heart out through that lead playing, always such an inspiration! Well done guys overall a fantastic production

Hi Stephen,
Thanks for checking this out, the great comments and your sharing. That video cost a bit as it was an expensive cruise and we got Covid from it. Fortunately the bug did not hit me hard!
Be well and take good care!

Hi Jason,
Glad you felt this was up to “normal standards”! Leo did a great mix job I think on this one!

Ha Adi,
I agree, Mike bent that 6 string and got a ton out of it. He felt the Beatles version simply was boring guitar wise. So we went down this path. He does play a mean axe!

All the best to you!

Wow, you guys knocked this one out of the park. Amazing lead guitar work and production.

@LBro @crocodile1 @MikeSebastianP
This is faboulus to say the least! I just knew The Beatles’ version and enjoyed this one very much indeed! Especially the vocals and that electric guitar through the all song! Braviiiiiiiiii

[Helen0609]

@LBro @crocodile1 @MikeSebastianP That was incredible. The whole production, guitar, singing, video. Guys, I admire your skills! Im no Beatles fan (I maybe shouldn’t admit this ), this is one of the few songs I really like and your version is great!

@brianlarsen

Haha, I’ll get no practice in today Every time I leave a comment on a vid I see another one drop!
World Wide Media? Gotta check it out, esp if my strange Russky friends are involved :смайлик:
Disclaimer: know nothing of Jeff Healy band, but hey, who needs to when you know the song?
This worked well guys. It took me a couple of moments to adjust to the American accent on this iconic song, but you did well, Brother :смайлик: There were a couple of slight melody variations from the original which I really enjoyed (Jeff Healy or you?). At the very beginning I thought there was a bit too much brightness/reverb, but then Mike just went and did that Mike-magic that he does and everything slotted together.
Loved the crocodile snapping at your heels. Inspired, Leo :смайлик:
Nice choice of visual accompaniment. Large empty landscapes can be so evocative.
Congrats to all involved

Hi Brian, thanks for such a detailed review of our cover, I always read your posts with interest Thank you for the high rating and I want to explain right away what kind of effect I used in the opening arpeggio. It was chorus, initially when I recorded the intro this effect was absent and sounded more traditional, but then I thought, so be it, and left this option.

@roger_holland

Hi LBro and Leo and Mike and The crocodile
Where do I start… first a confession,

@LBro

the Jeff Healy Band

as a young person I already listened to this Jeff Healey and only since a few years I know that the original was not his but from another band

And I hope my neighbor who works at home also liked the song because … WOW that guitar work is absolutely amazing , I like the whole song and the video is beautiful … But that guitar :бум:

Now I absolutely have to stop chatting and listening because the kitchen and then the guitar are getting impatient…But thanks :солнцезащитные очки:

Hi Roger, thank you very much, I really appreciate it!

@DavidP

This no exception … excellent performances and production from all.

This is one of my favourite Beatles tunes and it is even better for being a little bit more rocked up by Jeff Healey and similarly in your rendition. A quick read on Wikipedia shares that Clapton asked George to mix the guitar to sound more ‘Beatley’.

Having a second listen now. It’s all so good but the guitar is just fabulous, what a tone.

@brianlarsen Jeff Healey worth a listen, in the mould of Stevie Ray Vaughan on this song (I’d say) from the album I used to listen to: The Jeff Healey Band - See the Light (from See the Light: Live from London) - YouTube

Hello David! I, too, with all due respect to the Beatles, and George, whom I consider one of the greatest solo guitarists, also choose this version of Jeff, thank you very much!

@jkahn

That was really cool guys, awesome lead work. Better than Clapton’s? Yeah, sounds like it!

@DavidP

A quick read on Wikipedia shares that Clapton asked George to mix the guitar to sound more ‘Beatley’.

Clapton played the lead, I thought it was Paul or John that asked them to make it more beatley, so they ran it through the Abbey Road automatic double tracker, which from memory was a tape double tracker with some flutter and a very long cable, so it thickened the sound by adding variability to the second track! Unique stuff.

Thanks a lot, I’m glad you liked it!

Hi Mark,
Happy to hear you liked this one. I agree the L Guitar and Production were top notch. Hooking up with the Russians now and then is to me, always a great gig!

Be well and take good care!

Hi Silvia!
Thanks for checking out this offering. It took us a while as all were busy. But I think in the end it came out pretty good.

You be well and take good care!

Hi Andrea,
I have to ask how is it you use Helen as a screen name and a real name of Andrea? Is Helen a middle name or something?

Wow, I don’t know many that are not fond of the Beatles. But so be it. Glad at least you warmed up to this production. Thanks for your kind words and kudos.

Take good care and be well,
