i love this dude's version of the song, but the solo one is better. i also, wanna see this guy get a record deal. one of the best singers and guitarists around
His solo version is not solo. There is a woman in the background who is playing too. An other fact is: Matt Weddle is the singer of Obadiah Parker. So this is HIS band. and they HAVE a racord deal if u ask me, but that i do not know for sure
saw him in phoenix and this group live is real talent. they even started to play this song on radio stations here. i like it better than the original!
I broached this subject in a conversation with Mat on myspace. She's definitely a good musician and singing live brings in a whole set of complexities that can be fixed in studio. It's so easy to sing flat.
It is very powerful as a solo performance. Not that the band doesn't have the talent to pull off a great performance, it is just that there is something there, something more, something singularly wonderful when you sing it alone.
The original is good, I really like it--but I have to admit, this takes it to a higher level. Who knew "fun" lyrics could become "thinking" lyrics?!?! Great job!
The guy looks like Zack Galifneakis

WHite college kids in drunken hazez abound.
Good cover though. Watch the Dave Mattews effect.
Feel the funk brother. That song is wilder than this, with the same sad, wise core.

Also your keyboard vocalist is always a little flat vocally. Perhaps she should stick to tickling the black and whites. She's damn good at that.
