Cover of Tom Petty’s You Got Lucky. Just acoustic guitar and vocal. Guitar is a Martin DJR-10E, vocal is me.
I’m thinking about recording the synth/whistle type line on a low whistle. If I do that I might add some bass, too. But if I do all of that I’d probably re-record the whole thing. This one was kind of a casual recording so the timing isn’t as on as I’d like, etc. Blah blah blah. Anyway, here it is:
That’s a good version of the song. My eldest daughter plays viola and piano. My youngest daughter played violin in high school, but has pretty much stopped playing since she graduated. My eldest son plays bass, but it’s also kind of an off and on thing with him. My youngest son doesn’t play an instrument, but he did recently ask about the possibility of getting a carnyx (a request I found both amusing and kinda cool).
I haven’t been able to persuade any of the kids to record with me, other than one time when my eldest daughter played viola on a short melody I wrote. (That one is the Lament track that’s over on my Learning Log.)
So beautiful, Jason .
I haven’t heard this song before, but your version was a real treat to my ears. Great playing and singing - very enjoyable indeed .
Hi Jason,
You have such consistent quality in your recordings. Have some good vibes!
Lovely clear tone on the guitar. Great vox and perfect balance.
I was just about to comment on the brevity of the piece, when I suddenly had a vague recollection of covering it as well. I checked and lo and behold, I did. Alzheimer’s is definitely setting in
Good stuff, man. Keep 'em coming
Hi Jason. I listened the record and your cover sounds good as is. Not that adding the bells and whistles can be a nice project but it will be a different cover.
Yeah, with only two verses it’s definitely a short song if you don’t include a big intro, solo section, et cetera. I just checked out your version; nicely done!
