Going to California
I moved to CA (from the Boston area) in 2015 and had this song on my playlist, now 2 years later I decided to do a cover of it. Moving to CA actually made it hard for me to play/perform music because of my lack of equipment and living situations. While I solved those two issues I still didn't have a platform to share or collaborate on, so I started toying around with social media for this reason. I'm happy to share this cover here as a way to network with other musicians. I'll be looking around the forums here more and reaching out, thanks! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GtRAgFhjcCI

Very nice cover. You made it your own without destroying the vibe of the original.

good job there,
both in capturing a good vocal performance,
and in mixing the voice with the acoustic bleedthru..

Eph221, I'm just far enough south where rent isn't quite as bad but I can drive up to go to concerts in SF if needed!
Batsbrew and biodiode, thanks for commenting on the recording quality, I spent a good amount of time doing test runs to capture a decent mic placement, then spent a good amount of time mixing the mic with the direct signal to find a sweet spot.

Thank's Mesh! I started working on an acoustic version of a Robin Trower tune, I'll record it over this weekend and post it when it's ready.
Best,

great cover very well performed. A tad too much reverb for my taste but very good all the same

That was really nice... Zep-ish for sure, particularly the vocals, but still enough to make it your own. Mix sounds great too - thick but very clear.

Sound good here, though I to thought that the reverb was a tad over done, thanks for sharing.

Though I've never heard the Zepp version, I like what you've done and how larger it is. I think though that you could have eased back a tad on the reverb, but still a fine production.
