Coconut Grove - Lovin' Spoonful by Rick

I didn't know if I should post this one. I've always loved the Lovin' spoonful, and this is such a moody song, but one of my favorites. There are four guitar parts in this. I sang 'bout an inch from the mic so beware! John Sebastian is one of the greats!
There is just random pics of Coconut Grove and of me figuring out the guitar parts.A thanks goes to my son Jon for video production.

Recorded on a Tascam 2488 Neo

Epiphone ej160 - used on all four parts

This is one of my favorite songs of all time. I play it in my sets as well. You did a BEAUTIFUL job.

@jmylestoones Thank you, this was always one of my favorite songs as well. I had the album Hums of the Spoonful and this song just really got to me, even as a kid.... Rick

Hey brother good stuff, I have been in love with this song since i was a child and everytime i hear another rendition of it i fall deeper in love. I love how much passion seems to be woven into the song yet it sounds so mellow, nearly brings me to tears anytime i sing it. Thank you for one more awesome version

[engineer909]

@SamboStarscream Thank you! I've felt the same way about this song. We got album shortly after it came out and this song was always stuck in my head as a kid(I was 8 at the time). I think John Sebastian wrote the perfect song here. What a songwriter!

[Hebdula]

The parts are spot on. But why didnt you plug the ej160e ? It has that nice bassy sound as on the record..

[engineer909]

@Hebdula I did plug in, but it just seemed to electric for what I wanted. That was the only part in the Spoonful's version that I didn't care for. Kinda out of place for the feeling of the song. I wanted a more acoustic feel.

[SuperSCDude]

Great job, man! You've captured the feeling of this song without any artificiality! I'm 62 years old and I still play this song on my guitar!

[conmaesta]
