  • Joe, I can't understand why you don't have more hits. This is the best version of The Edmund Fitzgerald that I have ever heard. Where are you? Do you go on the road?

    The guitar playing, incredibly well done, and your singing, not strained, and not overdone. It really is fantastic. I only wish I had your talent, if even just for my own

    enjoyment. Keep it up.

  • ACE....great job buddy!!!5*****

  • I've watched any number of cover versions of this, one of my favorite recordings ever - yours is the best. You know, I always tried to figure this song out in D, but after 30 seconds of watching, it was obvious that A is the correct key - easier on my bad vocal chords, too. Thanks for posting

  • No matter how many times I listen to your version of this song you do a fantastic take!!!!

    Regards, Jim King,

    Wellington, New Zealand

    (I travel trough Passau from Regensberg to Bosnia frequently - where I now live so I will think of this song from now when travelling)

  • This is one or my life-time top ten and you just did it beautifully. Thank you!!!

  • Just saw Lightfoot tonight. This was better!

  • Sir you are very good especailly not having the background added from recorded original - nice job contact me or go to legendsandpros at myspace
