Thiis the first cover I've seen on Youtube which beats the original meaning Traffic's version. I'm teaching myself guitar and not doing too badly but have set me a goal. Lovely stuff!
You really covered this great tune perfectly! I don't think I've ever heard it played any better. Thanks for sharing and I'll add this to the World United Music Website under great indie artists on Youtube.
this song makes me want to dose hard and get losat in the fire behind you...so old english 1607 working the fields trying to raise the crops to havew enough food to stay the harsh winter....very well done!!!!!
Winwood's version of this song was one of the earliest folk rock performances to turn me on to traditional music. I love it to this day, and your rendition is simply magical, Larry. Love your videos, and can get lost for hours in your healing-hypnotic talent. You should be available on prescription, let alone subscription!
I hit the play button of your guitar cover and I opened other internet pages to do other things. After several minutes I opened my iTunes to pause the song to listen to a random video, and then I realized that it wasnt the official song that was playing, but indeed your cover... Just to let you know that it sound so perfect that I thought it was the real one!
whos the idiot that disliked this.... i hope that was a slip of the cursor... im a huge stevie winwood fan.... he shouldnt be disappointed with this cover!!! thank you
Been a Winwood fan since his inception. You have done this great classic justice. Kudos to you, and your entire arrangement! Nice work. I would pay to see you perform other such pop fav's. Your musical companions are specially gifted as well.
Folk roots, I love it! You play the flute too or use a keyboard? Great harmony line Larry. Really enjoying this this morning. Also impressed at your guitar sounds on a 7th fret capo. I didnt' know Traffic covered this one, I'll have to look that up.
IMHO one of your best posts Larry, recently anyways..
Thanx for your YT activity. I've picked up a lot of tricks and licks from you. Really appreciate you.
I love this traditional English folk song, but I'm a big folk fan. Once again a great version. A version of this song existed as long ago as 1568, so my guess is that is possibly the oldest song you have covered.
Love the folksy feel and added flute and harmonies. And the fireplace...well it just adds to the warmth of the music...a cozy winter evening. Thanks : )
Larry......Another new one to my ears....filling them with beautiful play and that strong voice that is just as warm as that fire.....Happy Hour INDEED:).....better than any drink!!!!..ione marie
This one had me mesmerized from start to finish, Larry. You've got the perfect setting, beautiful instrumentation, fabulous vocal & harmonies, and a haunting song. I felt like I was sitting right there by the fire listening to a master storyteller. Perfect for this chilly winter night...
Great job

I have followed this song for 20 years.
He is lip-syncing (and probably guitar-syncing) with the original.
The reason it is such a perfect cover is that it is the original.

Perfect just perfect. Beautiful guitar playing and voice harmonies. Steve Winwood is definately in your range. He would be impressed too, I'm sure.
Love the fireplace too. My old apartment used to have one and I miss it's warmth so much on these cold winter nights.
