Felice Brothers - The Ballad of Lou the Welterweight (cover)

[neffets227]

you can really see the passion, when you are playing this heartbreaking song

[woodshedshooter]

@neffets227 Thanks ! I love the Felice Brothers. You can check out lots of other vids on our drummers page. search for MannyNH - Peace Raf (guitar and lead vocals)

truly amazing! great harmony! every time i watch it i see 3 guys like me that like to drink beer and play music! keep it up gents!

[woodshedshooter]

@lillangerud Thank you !

[kevp]

this is great, watching from ireland

[buzzandhum]

Ok, I love you covering this song... but, please. Slow down. You're doing that thing all bad cover acts do; mistaking speed for passion. Slow down, let the song breathe and move, you, yeah, with that voice, guitar and percussion you'll hit it perfectly.

[woodshedshooter]

@buzzandhum Thanks for the comment Man ! I appreciate the advice, but we don't mistake speed for passion. I do know what you mean though :) It's hard not to push the tempo when you love the material so much ! Thanks so much for watching and you have to admit there is some fine synchronised beer drinking at the end ...

[Fliegenbefriediger]

@woodshedshooter

the beer drinking is madly in tune! the music is fine too, shouldn't mistake a cover with a copy if you know what i mean:)

[garethrsmills]

Well done guys: great cover of a great great song. We don't get the Felice Brothers in the UK often so god bless the magic of the internet! Keep up the good work.

[woodshedshooter]

Thank You to all of you who took this humble little video to over 5000 views ! Peace - Raf

[Humanfactor7]

I'm looking forward to seeing you guys soon in Boston. The Paradise is a good venue for you guys.

[woodshedshooter]

Thanks for the comment, but we're not the Felice Brothers. We just love their music. We're from NH and wish we were going to the Paradise show. Have a great time !! Peace - Raf

[Armachillo]

Sounds great and definately looks great too! It must be so so nice to just sit at your kitchentable with a couple of friends and make music...

[mark9780]

Hi ! It's me again,i told you it was a great job a year ago,and guess what?It still is.We are off to London to see them next week(300 miles away)but well worth it.Check out our cover of Wonderful Life,not in your league yet,but it's a start............found myself singing the Powder your Nose line in front of Mother in Law the other day,she looked horrified!

[woodshedshooter]

Thank You all so much for checking our video out. I'm humbled. Peace - Raf

[dylan3058]

Just got into The Felice Brothers, Very good cover!!

Good work

[rabbitsfoot1]

i'm not real big on leaving comments but this is by far the best cover of any band i've heard in a long time. wish ya'll were around mizzou, we'd jam.  do a lotta avett bro covers but started to look into the felice bro's tabs.

anyway, great job. peace

[scusemelittleoldlady]

nicely done... great job on the harmonies.

are those long trails you're drinking?... I hope so.

[woodshedshooter]

Yes, They are Long Trails !! They are the unofficial 'Official' (meaning we pay for them) beer of the band. With the brewery only 2 hours from us, we've been there (and been shut off) on numerous occasions !! Great place anytime of year to stop by and have one from the taps. You a Long Trail fan too? Raf

[timodonohue]

Raf, thanks for your version, here's mine, hope you like it.

[jimborooski]

What a great version! I love the Felice Brothers. I can't see but are you capo'd on the fourth fret? I found tab C-Em-G-F as main progression. Looks like you guys are having fun!

[woodshedshooter]

Thank you !! I love this band - Raf

[avatar0408]

Just GR8 - excellent!!!!

We have camp fires just like your round table.

Best wishes from Melbourne

Kind Regards

Andy
