Can't Find My Way Home (Blind Faith)

[danboy66in]

Ian Anderson from Tull? hahahaha

[moanman1776]

To my ear, vocally, this sounds a bit like Willie Nelson doing a cover of the classic Blind Faith song, but I'm diggin it. The guitar playing is mad evocative. This take is definitely original in sound, so big props to you!

[60srecords]

Great job Rick..

[witchyliLL23]

This is one of my Favourite songs of all time..I was expecting to hate this..I am a bit of a 'purist'.I guess you could say..I prefer original Artists...You haven't done too bad a job Ricky...Nobody is Steve Winwood or 'Blind Faith'..but,good work..I will check out more of your Music...Hmmm...Interesting version..:)

[hedgerow215]

I didn't know Stephen Stills had covered this lovely song.. :-) great work!

[joes6666]

Thank you for this version, finally a chord structure that fits my limited vocal range.

[kdogg38]

Very Nice Ricky.

[SuzySuziko]

Very nice! IN some ways better than the Steve Winwood version :) Thanks!

[turc1656]

love this cover. best i've heard yet.  wonderfully played. nice take on this song. and i love the way you sing it.

[apokryphos117g]

WOW.

[fuzzypige222]

you give this better treatment than clapton did in so many of his later renditions (no muzak here ) .....the fingering is the gold....very nice !

[Borbatr]

Looks like a Tom Waits Billy Childish version of Blind Faith. Pretty fucking cool.

[GuitarTeamNL]

Great!

[vegasshowgirlshoes]

Dude, I'm impressed , and I'm hard to impress , This is a great cover in a Leon Redbone fashion , Yet with originality . 5 stars ,

[tomosoos]

gee, friend, don't put so much stuff on your vocal track , that doesn't help. good luck

[1Phoebus]

thsi is a very nice version of the song...nice job Ricky! ^/^

[hd74man]

Man, talk about benefits of punchin' in the 'ole echo and reverb knobs! Grandeur in simplicity. And what kinda pathetic moron would punch the dislike red button for this marvelous Ricky Shades cover of "THE" quintessential Blind Faith classic. Fabulous vid. 110% rated.

[regionrat270]

Interesting interpretation. Still has the heart, but from a different direction. Different isn't bad, just different.

[ladybluelady]

very nice, ricky!

[massivetrousersnake]

wonderful Ricky!...a brilliant cover!...thankyou

[ereedy51]

GREAT!

[frannyward]

Gee, how about a "Cover" title!

[123ThisIsMe]

This great cover version would have deserved a big applause !

[DenTwanne]

Wow Asif Ian Anderson from Jetro Tull Is Singing.... nice job dude .... keep on the good word

[chairjockey1]

Very nice. Thanx for sharing.

[minorkatminor]

Awesome!

[1958wvpicker]

Excellent cover of the best Blind Faith tune

keep up the good work

[bapentec]

voice isn't my thing for THIS CLASSIC , however your expert guitar skills blow itoverboard...good job..high notes are a biotch.

[stevevandien]

A beautiful performance of a great song. Rock on, Ricky! Best, Steve

[zenwhips]

Is that a Martin DM12 in the left background?

Nice cover of song that brings back many memories.

[guyglowmore1]

[felixrockss]

excellent buddy , truly soulful and well played .

[melodicdeathscene]

Thank You For This, Love it

[BOODUCOTE]

I've been playing guitar since 1966. That's beautiful work. I think I'll go play it now.

GORGEOUS. PERSONAL. REAL ART.

[orangewoman671]

Excellent, Ricky. Like the sound of the guitar, your voice, your style for this great and classic tune. 5*

[FullMetal0ne]

Supernatural The First Season!!!

[Layzie07]

yeah it's on the episode called "route 666" I have that season.

[11thumbs]

OUTSTANDING!!!!!

[cheeseppuff]

nice voice and guitar playing!!!!

[ernieernie]

I know it's a Blind Faith song but this rendition has a very Ian Anderson/Jethro Tull feel about it...all good though..

[1953fast]

I am heading to your site. Nice job!

[RHODOAN]

I like your picking on this. Real nice.

[huffjrt]

you are truly a artist and i appreciate your taste in music thank you

[FloridaFFEMT]

overall, a good cover; but I truly like the rawness of what Blind Faith gave us. Again, nicely done, but a bit "clean" for my tastes.

Peace!

[grandnots1]

Haven't seen this for awhile. Still as great as the first time. btw, caught your act at the Beach Grille, you are definitely awesome live.

[duinnerfs]

Truly a super job, this song is probably my favorite of all songs, great job!

[behradng]

doesnt he look a bit like santana?

[duinnerfs]

Zeppelin

[FazinerosoDruGus]

i liked very much your voice and the guitar

similar sound to banjo

[NaturesGlory]

Is that Ian Anderson hiding under a fedora!? Great job, buddy!

[97Nascar]

wow no kidding

[ihafky]

great voice homie

[lavalake33]

The guitar playing, OMG its outta site

[tvchanneler]

[Elin48]

love the guitar....the music's unique.

[sharp1972]

pssst!clapton

[madhoneydew]

what's the other guitars for?

[tremoloheart]

backdrop; it beats looking at someone's kitchen or bath, right.

[madhoneydew]

right.. true. nice playing though... !

[IanHunedoara8]

Fine mellow resonant voice somewhere between Willie Nelson and Leon Russell.

[send2meez]

An instant 5 star favorite.

[rnichols2112]

Yeah. Mighty nice.

[JorgeAmarull]

Excellent version of this "classic"... I really like the sound of the guitar.

[apologiamixer]

Nice classic. Another interesting song with a similar message is "Find You a Home" from Dale Brown's cd Soldiers of Destiny

[mistertomasP]

I like the key change and nice guitars.

[acerb45666555]

RickyRules!!

[blackdogleg]

no, lost the song. I don't believe him.

[rjsfeminist]

Wow! You've done a really great job on this! I'll frequently listen to covers done by little- or unknown on here and usually am unimpressed. You definitely HAVE impressed me. Good going! Hauntingly good voice, gread guiter...Love it! Play on, man, play on!

[knuck1723]

Nice licks, man. You made it your own. Well done!

[Flynn9341]

Wow. If I was David Hasselhoff I'd do a little arm movement and thumb stabbin. Very good voice & rendition.

[marknettles]

Bravo! You have reinvented a classic and made it your own. Awe-inspiring work, Ricky...keep em coming! This music has to live on brother, and you do it justice for sure!

Blind faith - Jimi Hendrix - janis joplin etc Even skipped school to see them ; I love your version though It has a brightness and the soul that belongs !

Love from Anna

[RickyShades]

Thanks so much Anna. I had a chance to see a whole bunch of them at one time, but ... my car broke down on the way to "Woodstock." :(

Thanks again. :)

[mizz77anna]

AHHHHHHHHHHH what bad luck !!! Since I am from Holland Woodstock was a bit too far ;-)

But there is one night I remember when Jimi and Janis where both in Amsterdam One in paradiso the other in "de melkweg"and after their gig they jammed in Paradiso till 4 PM You would have loved it ! great to be 51

Love from Anna

[RickyShades]

[Lillemy1]

Just back to listen again:) love it:)

Hilde

[visionarydreams]

Great song..great musician!

[RickyShades]

Thanks for your comments visionarydreams. Yeap, this song is a real classic. Blind Faith was only together for one album. I think they only perfomed it live once.

[razzberrysunshine]

Oh yea, this is great! Nice selection! Peace!

[RickyShades]

Thanks so much Razz! :)

[Lillemy1]

You are such a great guitar player.

And you sing great too:)

Awesome again:)

Hilde

[RickyShades]

Thank you Lilleny for your comment. Really much appreciated. Just wish my camera had an audio input so that the sound would be much "cleaner." Thanks again talented lady! :)

[RickyShades]

Thanks so much nightwolf. I've always had an "attachment" to this song. I still have the original vinyl from the late 60's. :)

[nightwolf014]

is a great choice! i have only had one vinyl. but, my dad has quite the vinyl collection!:D j

[RickyShades]

Vinyls are prehistoric CD's! One of these days they'll be worth a mint. Tell your dad to leave them to you. :)

[nightwolf014]

really nice! jodie

[acerb45666555]

Yeah!

[RickyShades]

Thank you :)

[NossedEvo]

Agree with LeopardJoy--often attempted--rarely mastered. Enviable gang of friends around you for sure.

Thanks

[RickyShades]

Thank you so much for your kind comments. Appreciated! :)

[LeopardJoy]

Holy cats! How gorgeous is this??? Thanks so much Ricky...this is an all-time favorite of mine and I've NEVER heard a good cover...until now. Beautiful collection of guitars you've got there...this one sounds fabulous!

5stars, FAVEd, and subbed to ya!

Cheers,

Joy

[RickyShades]

Thank YOU for comments. It's also one of my fav songs. Performers are usually their own worse critic and I've been meaning to someday redoing this song with better sound quality. I wish I could find the B/W video taken of me doing this song in the middle of an empty, garbage strewn lot (lol) in NYC in 1971 filmed by filmmaker and video pioneer Bill Creston.

[busterbone]

Very nice version of a timelessly classic song

[hissiggy777]

Out of all your videos, I like this one the most ----it's TOPS!

[hissiggy777]

Out of all your videos, I like this one the most! It is TOPS!!!! Keep on picking!!!

[Dedbee1957]

Bravo!

[LookyLooky777]

Real nice guitar playing. I like your voice but I can't hear too well in this video. Post more and turn up your voice volume.

[icy1girl]

Very cool. I went to you website to take a better look at it. I cant believe u r doing all that using a flat pick. Thanks for the free show here.

[grandnots1]

This is one of my favorite songs. You are very smooth on that picking. So far I like this one the best, you look like yourre enjoying it too.
