Denver's "The Eagle & the Hawk" (Series 2 of 5)

Part II in my John Denver Series. Hands down one of my absolute favs! This short and sweet tune really get's me going, dreaming of being back up in the sky, free as a bird.

This is one of the toughest songs for me to do, as the vocals are really high, and held for a long time in parts. It's pushing it for me, but I just had to do it!

As an extremely avid JD fan, I am thrilled with this performance. I have to agree with br1ancrowell that you just about nailed the tough part; a lot of credit to you for that. Dont know if you're interested enough, but to crank that baby out on a 12-string makes an enormous different to the song (along with Annie's Song). Keep it up!

Cheers,

Chris

Your 100% right on there Chris...up until a few years ago, I strickly played JD stuff on my Takamine 12-string. I really miss that guitar!! One day I'll have another!!

Great song Brian! I know you are still recovering from nasty pneumonia and it does show a little in your voice, but you hit the hard part dead on! I am enjoying this and cant wait to hear more. :) Thank you for sharing your music with us again.

Dang, I was hoping one wouldn't notice! Strangely enough, the more I sing, the more it seems to be clearing up. STILL, "my sound" isn't fully back yet...frustrating really.

Fabulous! You downplayed your ability to follow John's high notes, but your cover was really fantastic.

Thank you... Wonderfully done. One of my favorites, and you nailed it. There are those who sing, and those who feel it when they sing. Thank you again. :) kim

You have no reason for apologies....

It's nailed.. period.

Goosebump Central here - exactly the same way I get 'em when JD sings it.

I tell you what Brother, whereEVER John was when you posted this, I guarantee he stopped to take a second look, kicked it and flipped out over this rendition! Kick-ass! Well done! I'd love a shortcut to all cords after the C and G switchbacks! A mere list of all cords involved would do the trick! Nice work! Gives the chills!
