Hey Randy.. I am his piano duo partner, this guy can play anything. We have played biker bars and senior dinners at country clubs. He sounds this good live!
I like the guitar/vocal arrangement. The voice is moving, and it sounds quite different from the original. Still my favourite arrangement of the song is in Michael Brecker's "The Nearness of you" with James doing the vocals, but your arrangement and interpretation are very good.
man! the joy of being able to play and sing!, wonderful hearing your version. Have you tried singing in other octaves, perhaps a lower octave with an electric guitar? soft and mellow sound? I am still looking to see who's done one in electric with the same delicate texture of the original song. Great JOB!
Its hard to cover one of the greatest writers ever...but you did well :). You kept James' feel, but your voice is very different to his... Well done!!
If those who watch you on youtube could only see what we in the Raleigh area could see and hear you in person, they'd be as dedicated as your bigest fans here are. Thank you for touching our lives with not only your incredible talent, but your loving soul. Youtube doesn't do you justice and there are not enough words to describe you or your talent. Post my favorite for me. Nothing in this would would make me any happpier!!! gr8red300m
So, you can sing to me anytime. Sound familiar? I only wish all these people commenting on you could have the honor that I have been blessed with and that is seeing you perform in person and knowing you as the most incredible person that you are.
Love this song brother!
James is the MAN!!

@Maharatia In that song, i'm using drop D. It being a 12 string might be why it sounds full.

The only thing I don't like about your videos is that we can't see your guitar playing. Other than that, great stuff man. Keep going.

Dude, you keep singing like that, and you'll be lonely the rest of your life. Ugh! Terrible.

Are you kidding me? Dude, save your BS for someone that deserves it on Youtube, this guy isn't one of em. He can sing PERIOD.
This post is actually funny.....tunnelrat1900 doesn't have a clue if this is what he calls terrible. His name pretty much says it all for me.
