...I came bak here a few times now,buddy does a very good performance of Staffords epic,. more of a set tempo,it sounds Great!. Staffords Gloom classic depicts the eviroment of the Horror's of Quarantine near the Black Cajun Rivers.The Camera Work makes good as well,seems to fall into The chronicle as the Tragedy Ends!!!
Yep...to do a rendition that's better than the original...well, that takes some doing, but you, Sir, have mastered it more than could be imagined! The original 3:47 version fit the radio req's and Jim Stafford was a genius with lyrics but your embellishments are something even he would appreciate...and admire! Thank you indeed for posting this!
I agree with ThsEldora regarding the "spoken" parts and the studio effects"---excellent interpretation on your part, guy fanguy, very entertaining! I wish I could have been there for your editing, you have great shots, and the effect from them would have been as intense as Jim's version: the note on the stump would have burnt edges, and I would have panned left across the smoke th1st viewing of Shack, and panned left for "fetch" the same way. Fetch" would have sky THEN tree branches, etc
Holy Catfish Momma! I like your version even better than the original by Jim Stafford, so smooth and bluesy!, just beautiful.. However because of the "spoken" parts and the studio effects, the original has a greater impact for those that remember it.
sounds just like how i remember it...from my dads old 8 track when cruisin down the road on long trips through tenn. and the southern states.....great job
Great cover! Thank you very much....and I know Houma.....went to Nicholls State....many moons ago...actually when this Stafford song came out...and I saw him play it at Nicholls along with another act called Lobo.
I love and miss Houma! And this is a great cover!
