Michael (Spacey) suggested  a cover of this old song by the great Sonny Landreth...
The production is a few years old now, but I reallly like the the way the track sounds...
I like it so much, I'm thinking of writing some new original lyrics... and re-releasing it under a new title... one I won't feel obliged to purchase a licence for, in case I decide to publish... It's just a 3 chord(I/IV/V), 12 bar progression... just like thousands of others...  
Is this a good, or bad idea..?

Wow you two are great together. This is really nice - could listen to this all day.

I had a chance to listen to some music here last night and
was surprised to see this.

I have to admit though...I sure don't remember much about it
and don't remember what I contributed if anything.
I do remember telling Frank I'd like to hear him cover it...and I sure
did enjoy listening again.

I like the organ "call" form that gets the guitars singing back near the end. 

Nice stuff... lots of rich harmony.


best regards,
mike

Amazing. That guitar playing is absolutely top shelf (I do not say such things lightly). You don't hear that kind of confidence and fluidity every day. I am very impressed. Thanks for sharing.

HOLY Underwear Batman!
 
Guyz!  This absolutely rocks!  the mix is just awesome.  Everything is just so clean and has it's own space.  fantastic job on the mix Frank.
 
I enjoyed listening to this!

Man the clairity is just outstanding.
seriously,great mix.automation is very precise.
(example;the first and second solo are perfectly set in the mix and not one is louder than the other.
love the congo intro really sets the tone of the tune.
the lead guitar parts are rippin as well.
nice touch on the slide as well.

Groovey,thats how i sum it up,got a great groove to it.
this is really good music.

Hard not to like a song w/a dobro in it. This is at once both familiar and different from much of your normal fare. The one lead is panned left, and then is joined by one panned right at the end. I may vary the tone of one a bit more to make it more unique. Right now they both sound similar to me. But that's minor.

Hi Frank,

I remember when you originally posted this gem. Great version of a cool tune!

I'm a little conflicted on the re-write idea (you would maybe have to get rid of that cool keyboard line?..which would be a shame) but I'd sure love to hear what you come up with...

I've thought about that Gary... I will have to replace Sonny's sigiture lick with something different there... maybe three girls singing harmony backup lines...  Of course, I'll have to change the melody too...
