Jim Croce's Lover's Cross Cover

I hardly ever attempt to play a cover as a duplication of how the original artist played or recored it. I love this Jim Croce Song. Jim Croce was the first major influence on me as a young man learning to play, sing and write

Wonderful cover. Jim Croce was a brilliant tragic songwriter whose lyrics and music are replete with sadness. I seldom hear him covered well, but this version was honest, well performed and added it's own character to this great song. Well done.

I hope you don't mind my video response. Your version inspired me to learn this great song. I also hope you don't mind me somewhat borrowing your guitar interpretation. I thought it fit perfectly.

@AdamTurner31 not at all, I am honored by your interest and kind words

45 years of guitar and vocal performance, and I can't touch this, my favorite song when I was growing up in the 70s. Outstanding performance of Lover's Cross" Thanks for sharing your talent ,sir.

@bensdadfrank Thank you for that very kind comment I very much appreciate it, and thanks for listening. Jim Croce was one of my first "loves" of music when I was learning to play guitar, to me he is timeless.

This is a BEAUTIFUL RENDITION of a BEAUTIFUL SONG!!! Jim Croce was a gift to the world. He is a much under-rated and forgotten music icon whose gift was cut much too short. We can only imagine what beautiful music he would have continued to write had he continued to stay with us longer. But we can be very grtateful for the music that we do have from him!!! People like Jim Croce are a gift from God!

Wow...I love how you play this. You sound great! Love this song too, and have really enjoyed playing along with this video. I have a songbook with all of the chords. Just trying to watch and figure out some of the fingerings you do for this. Been playing guitar for years, but this is the first time I have tackled this song. Thanks for posting.

@afrost59 Wow!!! You sir are THE MAN! Your arrangement is beautiful, and the vocals are superb. Thank you so much for sharing. I will never forget turning the pages in my dads Croce book while he played. This had been a very special song to me since before I can even remember. And you have done it and Jim very honorably.
