As a musiciam and an x bands man I think Curtis is excellant. Yes ok he is using tracks but unlike some so called keyboard players, Curtis can play and is a very talented singer and musician.
Well said that man! Anyway, they all more or less use some kind of tracks now don't they otherwise most of these Irish singers couldn't do what they do, it wouldn't pay to bring a whole band round to all these smaller gigs now.
How could you compare this version to Big Tom's catch yourself's on ..and by the way Big Tom's alive and kicking and still packing them in at his shows this guy would never come close this is a backing track... turn on your keyboard and let us hear the real you....
I didn't think Big Tom had died, glad to hear that was wrong.
I still prefer Curtis's version but each to their own. You are right though, this is the studio recording and not actually live, all Curtis's videos are unfortunately, I don't know why the record company wont put out some real live ones, I have heard him properly live and he sounds better I think and he does actually play the keyboard and it is turned on!
Thanks for your reply Thomas, I was not trying to knock the guy I just like to hear live bands these so called one finger keyboard players have killed the live Gigs.
I am not sure I agree that Big Tom's version is shit, you are entitled to your opinion though, but I do personally think that Curtis's version is better. I didn't know Big Tom died last September, that's very sad, he was an icon in Irish Country music.
we all enter the world by the same route naked,and crying at the sudden change.love the words.like it or not we will all go without a single possession except the clothes on our corpse.
