  • Thanks Isaac - I just relistened to this several years old version shortly after I'd first "mastered" the song - much appreciated

  • I miss the emotion of Willie McTell as can be heard on the original, recorded Oct.17/1928.

  • I absolutely love Willie McTell's original version - I wasn't actually trying to render Willie here - what if all musicians were only to render Willie when thgey sang his songs? It can be a misguided notion that when you sing a soong you have to render the originator. He sang it the way he felt it - and NO ONE feels it like Willie! But I sang without compromise how I felt it too - hopefully that Willie'd like to hear from another.

  • thanx man,now posted on "nothin but the blues" tryin' to promote real people playin' the blues!!enjoyed it ,keep postin'regards bluespower..

  • Thanks back! I checked your site - my Youtube experience just keeps expanding!!!Great site!

  • Terrible guitar, terrible playing, terrible voice but - brilliant anyway, don't like it but couldn't stop it either - must be the blues. gg.

  • Absolutely! As Houndog Taylor put it: When I'm gone, people will say - 'he couldn't play sh-- but he sure made it sound good'" - So you put me up there with Houndog!! - I'm yet unworthy but the fires are stoked!

  • dude i dont know who u are but that shit fuckin rocked. willie mctells version is epic and pat donohues is almost as brilliant and u do both of them justice

  • Greeting from Dublin Ireland - Lovely playing and singing. Great version - Keep it up

  • good stuff dude

  • completly agree with you, its about finding you own sound not imatating, I heard that a young Jimi Hendrix was laughed of the stage when he tried to play B.B King licks.

  • Holy crap! I think all Allman freaks should listen to this (me included) Your killin' on that geetar.

  • Hey...all these posts from a year ago. I am playin at some open tunings, love this song, and truly enjoy listening to you do this....very good!!!!!!

  • Chris Smither's version on 'Don't it drag on' is my fave outside of the original.

  • Insperational! Jeez.., Thank You. More plz, with a little more voice volume.., wow, good day to be alive, again.
