Great cover, Ken! I also know the Elvis version best. I could imagine the background choir singing along with you and a lap steel guitar in between... I enjoyed the fills especially.
Well there you go... I always thought this was written by Willie Nelson. You learn something new everyday. I like this soft and contemplative version, Ken.
It is a great song. Elvis sang it gently, Willy seemed thoughtful, and almost honestly, if there is such a way to sing a song. The Pet Shop Boys version was on the CD player when I drove our truck through a rain storm in Denver. And now Ken Middleton has done it, powerfully.
Stunning! I like Willie's the best, too. But now with you doing it so beautifully on the ukulele Willie's got some real competition. Thank you for that one.
Absolutely beautiful Ken! Good to hear your lovely voice is back! Excellent playing, but goes without saying really, when isn't it? :-) And I might as well just have all your videos in my favourites, half-way there already! :-) X
This is a lovely cover. Thanks for sharing!

Lovely video, Ken.
I've cherished this song
from the first time I heard Willie singing it
on a scratchy, fading AM station.
Filled with delicious KenMiddleton crunchiness.
