This is a cover of a Rickie Lee Jones song. Was feeling kind of down and out today. So I figured why not bring everyone else along! :lol:

Great job. I've never heard the original, but I like your version of it.

Very good man. Lots of feeling in your vocals and the guitar. I've never heard the original either. Gonna have to youtube it. Very well done!

Thanks bro!
Was difficult singing so low. Almost like talking through the song. Plus, the cadence RLJ uses in the song was very difficult to get down. She has never sung directly to what is being played in the rhythm and has a very unique way of phrasing. That's what makes her so interesting to me.

Thanks for listening!

I like your version better than Rickie Lee Jones.
Her voice doesn't do it for me . . . kinda of a Joni Mitchell . . . who I failed to appreciate.
Your version featured the guitar and the chords are beautiful.
Your voice is very soothing.
Well done. I liked it a lot.
