What a beautiful rendition of one of Gord's best songs.. A perfect balladeer's voice for a perfect ballad. Well done.. and yup.. could almost fool me into thinking you Canadian lol..
My favourite GL song covered by my favourite cover player. The accent suits the song magnificently. When I play this to my friends I fool them into thinking that Joe is Canadian
Nice arrangement, great voice. You aren't Canadian, though, are you? I hear the south in the accent. Doesn't hurt the song. Just amusing. Well done. You are fab.
A voice that needs to be heard by everyone. Absolutely beautiful voice, meant for the songs you sing. Some are even better than the original artists...
Gordon had to know the song is haunting in it's nature.I wonder if he realizes it's timelessness.I'm sure the true Lightfoot fans know exactly what I'm saying.Thank you for the post.
My Daughter died of meningococcal septicaemia back in February 2000. The night was calm and snow was coming down softly. That song always takes me back to that time. I miss her very much. Thank you for your rendition of Gordon Lightfoots song “ Winters night”. You do it justice
Peace
Murray MacLaughlin St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada
Thank you so very much for this wonderful gift. I can sit here, pretending that I am in a small, intimate smoky club, and that your voice and sweet guitar work are ringing off the rafters. Thanks again so much.
Kudos, Dude. Gordon Lightfoot is a huge part of my young-woman memories: and hearing your rendition not only violated no sacred inner space of mine, it brought me back there with grace, affection, and a ripened forgiveness for all my youth and poignant foolishness. Thank you, my dear.
What a wonderful version! I love the GL original, too, but your crisp guitar work is great and I like your singing more than GL's somewhat mannered rendition.
I was fortunate to hear GL sing this song live in Toronto in 1979, and it is one of my all time favourites. Whenever someone covers such a song I usually cringe, but this was SUPERB. Your guitar work is almost flawless and you have an excellent voice. FIVE STARS - WELL DONE !!
We have 48 inches of snow on the ground here and it's snowing as I type. I needed to hear this song--and boy, I couldn't have asked for a better rendition. Bravo! Bravo! Bravo! Tender and yet, dynamic and inspiring!
I do agree with hardlines4--I love the under-appreciated and underperformed song "Beautiful."
Man that was good. I am just sitting here listening to Gordon Lightfoot song and getting the tears to flow. Sounds great thank you. I want to learn this one!
Excellent!!! Aren't these some of the most amazing lyrics anyone has ever heard? And the arrangement fits so perfectly. This gentleman did an outstanding job covering this. Great singing, and guitar playing... 10 Stars!
WOW, your voice is wonderful, I too am a huge fan of Gordon Lightfoot. Your voice is very comforting, relaxing and very down to earth. Do you have any recordings that one could buy? Keep up the great work, you truly have a gift from Our Lord, A 1 job!
I ditto TalkfusionDave's comment. Coming from a Canadian and a huge GL fan .......you did and incredible job on this one....one of my favourites. Thanks :D
Beautiful vocals - you have a wonderful, natural voice that is smooth and warm. Also love your playing - nice warm sound that complements your voice perfectly. And your song choices - Lightfoot, Denver...love 'em! :)
What an outstanding version of this song. Ausgezeichnet!
