Carefree Highway - Gordon Lightfoot - cover

[Whiteyruss1]

Great job Brother... This is the music that I grew up with... Still moves me. Great redition.

[therealsparkman]

You should have shut the god damn tv off!!!! Your rendition sounds okay, but would sound a hell of a lot better if there wasn't any background noise.

Great rendition! Simple yet challenging song......I have the same problem with remembering those lyrics.......damn, they get in the way of a good performance!!!

[JoeSixString]

Great performance., true the crowd pays the bills, but I wish they'd quiet down and listen.

[Cameragirl803]

poor guy has to compete with the stupid television! Can someone please turn it off!

[thred610]

Nicely done, especially the vocals...on the money! Who's playing lead? He/she's getting good notes in there too.

That is damned good!! Great song. I love Gordon Lightfoot's music..have since I was a kid way back early 70's. You do GL really well. You sound alot like him too. Keep up the great work. This man's music is so worthy of keeping alive. It would be great,so much better minus the loud chatter in the crowd. Hope to see more of your covers. Peace.

[002002jes]

Thank you very much!!

[Ragdoll60]

Awesome, please post a version without the crowd!!! you are incredible, the best cover I have heard..

[002002jes]

Thanks Ragdoll60. I have a couple of gigs and sessions coming up. Hopefully I'll have some video with less crowd noise. ( of course its the crowd that pays the bills).

[chirogirl67550]

Incredible you are!!! Just beautiful...Okay, I'm going to look for video without the crowd noise on your channel...man I can't imagine what your sound would be, without the background noise, because it's excellent right now. --By the way, my cousin lives on Carefree Highway in Arizona...just thought I'd let you know...(smile)

Peace to you and yours,
