Another outstanding performance Babs. I've been picking along and trying out some harmonies with your version when I listen to it. Inspirational stuff for sure.....

[van1976]

@alertami "Outstanding" is what I was going to say --ha ha..it is..."Outstanding"

5*

[JoeVarVeri]

Excellent once again. You don't miss a single note... I like your version better than the original.

:)

[pezeteh]

Great dedication to Pete, Babs…he really deserves it cause he’s always a great help for so many people here on YouTube. Hope your bad cold has gone meanwhile…we still can hear it here a tiny little bit…but that gives this beautiful song that “special something” ;-) Beautifully done!

[onewomanandsomesongs]

This is actually a song I've always wanted you to perform, Babs. I even thought about requesting it from you. And you did it lots of justice! Just great. I'm so glad you chose "Me and Bobby McGee." Thanks for taking me back to my youth for a while. :) Janet

[karenmuenchen]

Oh, not so easy to sing, right Babs ? But you covered this great song so AWESOME ! Really fantastic ! Also your guitar play ! Big thumbs up my friend ! Karen :-))

[babs4TLove]

@FrankRMusic Thanks so much, Frank! I just had to do it "Babs" style! lol! I truely value your comments! All the best! <3 Babs

[aplacetohideaway]

You have that warmth and gentleness to your voice that adds to the feeling of sweet, sad reminiscence I always felt in the lyrics to this song. And the vocal riff towards the end is tempered a bit...a little less boisterous & hard, a little more joyful. I love it!

[babs4TLove]

@aplacetohideaway Hi Sharron! Your comments are always so heartfelt and meaningful! I am grateful to have you as a friend, and appreciate your support! Thank you so much! <3 Babs

Sorry to hear you've been unwell, hope you are feeling much better by the time you read this message. Kris Kristofferson is a wonderful songwriter and 'Me and Bobbie McGee' is one of his best. Wonderful version Babs.

Take care of yourself my dear friend ;)

Steve

I was singing along with you with a basso voice (still fighting with a bad cold too). Thanks for sending some musical vitamins. Enjoyed your version and hope you´ll keep your fingers from heroin... Isn´t it a pity Janis died so early. How many beautiful songs she could have sung...

Take care - Sabine

[WhoIsJimHardiman]

@babs4TLove Good morning Babs. Glad you send me such a nice reply, was already worried you might not like my music anymore! Definitly delighted that you listened to "Exiles" and liked it. Be happy about the temperatures over there, this morning - 23 degrees here are no fun. Please keep in touch. JIm

[AlbertBroughton]

Good to have you back. Sorry to hear you had flu. Your voice is just as good as ever. Great stuff.

Al.

[ThinkingDog06]

A true folk/rock classic played by so many who strum acoustic guitars, but your cover is drenched in authenticity and does the song justice. Another wonderful listening experience, thanks Babs.
