The vocals are great. As a soon as the harmonisation of "God keeps his eye on us all" kicked in, I was won over. Nice band too. The keyboards fill in well for the original orchestration.
@trio20759: It strikes me now as odd that I offered more criticism than praise. But this performance certainly deserve praise, specially for the focused vocals - sharp as a knife - and the robust-yet-swinging band!
Hallo michielholland1968, bedankt voor je reactie op onze video My Little Town. Inderdaad heb ik naar je versie van The Boxer gekeken en mijn complimenten. goed gearrangeerd en mooie stemmen. Groeten Gerard
Hello david684, very nice to read that you're not skeptical anymore after you have seen our video of this great S&G song. Thanks for your comment on this one. Greetings from Holland.
Nice cover to a great song. One thing--the change from "Pledge allegiance" to "Pledge alliance" loses something--as Europeans, you may not be familiar with the American Pledge of Allegiance that schoolchildren recite every morning in the classroom to a flag hanging on a wall (and thus, Simon's cynicism in his statement).
Hello richgere18, thanks for your response on this S&G song. See for more of our S&G songs on our account. Later this year we will put some new ones on YouTube.
Great singing/cover! Drums sound tinny and flat (good playing, but the drums themselves need adjusting), bass needs boosting, and reverb is overdone, especially on guitars. These small issues are preventing you guys from attaining a truly full sound.
Thank you 19671024 for your responce. Yes indeed we also do American Tune from Paul Simon. It's also on YouTube, look on our account trio20759 and you will find our version of that song.
ok then: this is my fav song and i am a musician of 45 yrs--this is as good as the orig--I watched this more than a few times--absolutely great

'Pledging alliance'? Whatever happened to 'allegiance'?
And why all this reverb on the vocals? Do you pretend to sing in a giant church? It doesn't match the comparably direct drum sound, which I like.
Lastly, you seem to be having a lot of fun singing at 3:25 about 'nothing but the dead & dying in my little town'. Curious.
Nevertheless, a reasonable rendition. Just take it another step or two ahead.

I already commented on this from another account; but, this is a great cover of this song.
You guys have done a great job; your vocals are excellent. This isn't an easy song to do.
Don't know where you are playing, but if it was possible I'd come out to hear you.
