Hi guys ,seen what way the vote was going and got the guitar out and done this.
I love the big O I was brought up listening to his music by my dad and when I listen to this song I think about my old man.

What a way to kick off this Fest, this is wonderful Kenny...your vocal soars majestically at 2 mins, in fact its bloody brilliant the whole way through.

The bar has been set high with this.

Very impressive, Kenny! The Orbison vibe is very strong on this. Great vocals and guitar - I loved it.

Absolutely outstanding. Onto listen number 2 already! Your guitar work is brilliant, but those vocals... man, they soar with precision and emotion, and are totally mesmerising. I love the original, and I love this cover. A beautiful tribute, and I can feel the love in it.

Wowwww,thanks guys,I actually made a small mistake at the start on the lyrics but the performance at the time was channeled to my dad and I just couldn't re- do it as I poured my heart into it for him,Im glad it came across,it means a lot to me you guys got it.
The big o was a one off for sure.

Absolutely stunning.
Excellent vocals and the simple guitar accompaniment
really make the song special.
The emotion of the song really came through
in your recording.

I am speechless
