Taylor Hicks has such a powerful voice and presence. Can't believe it when great singers sing, and rude folks just keep on chatting!

Taylor is unique. His versatility is becoming more and more evident. I think the best is yet to come. Reach for the stars, Taylor.

Thanks for this video. We love to see him like this.

At the time this song made quite an impression on me and I had only heard it the one time & only just now have I "revisited" 2 more times. A heartfelt, aching, poignant delivery that can only be delivered as sincerely as Hicks performs it. Not many like him in this world.

There's that awesome guitar again, he plays it during Hannah Charity event too, great sound!!!

Lovely Vocal, Be nice if he knew the chords to the song. I mean he is not even close in some spots.

It's still about the voice. And he is so much better now.

That's the night I went to the show and bought one of his harps. Dual purpose, invest in his career in my small way and garner strength unseen. No other harp player or otherwise has ever affected me the way he does. When he's sad he comes to me with a thousand smiles he gives to me free. Buttah flies and moonbeams, and fairytales all I ever talk about is ridin' with the wind. Hicks, take anything you want from me, anything....

I was there that night. Got my harp in the key of "E" and certif. Twas a great show. Still have my review (somewhere), a somewhat breathless account so I've been told. He seems more comfortable onstage now. More control over his musical vision. Went to Tarrytown show in Sept. Seasoned pro, and looks like he's content with the musical direction he's going in. He's got a major sense of humor, woodpecker song by opening act was hilarious, he definitely had a hand in that no doubt. Yer amazin!

Exactly! "Oh come on, this is a very good performance. Give the guy credit for knowing good music. People who have never heard this song before now might look into Little Feat and Lowell George."

[aasoder1]

I don't like his phrasing; sounds like he's rushed, or hurrying. Or like he's concentrating on the guitar too hard and not relaxing into what should be the smooth, contemplative pace of the song.

Lowell had it best, of course. Shaun Murphy does it right fine these days, too, though!

@JenniJaco You Crazy!! I saw Lowell perform this, and Swift wouldn't get Lowell's coffee....

@znarf541 Yea, well, listen to the man who wrote it, if you want to hear how it's REALLY sung. Lowell, we miss you so much man. These wannabe's will never be anything like you. Peace. Peace.
