Really excellent, A Belmont King - when you sing in the lower register, it sounds like you've channeled The Man In Black himself. Guitar sounds fine, too - are you banging out the beat on it as well as the chords?

Loved it!

WOW! That is perfection, like how you worked the song, great bass and percussion, the guitar sits around it nicely. Your vocals are the star here tho, top notch!

Great live feel also.

I always liked this song, helped Snowpig out a few years ago with a cover he did on here.

Wow! This is excellent!  Its a really good recording, everything placed well, all clearly audible, but the stand-out thing for me are the vocals.

This is going on the piepod.

Another great Johnny cash cover. Excellent vocals. Your voice is really well-suited to Johnny Cash's songs. The guitar and bass sound great too. And I love that percussion. It works really well with a song like this. I don't think a standard drum kit would have sounded right, but the hand percussion fits perfectly. Well done.

I Walk The Line was one of the first 45's that I bought as a youngster and you've done it most proud with this cover!  The opening guitar is perfect and as it's been said many times already, your voice is perfect to cover The Man in Blacks' songs. A very clean recording and the percussion you chose for this just rocks!

I agree with others who said you channeled Johnny a bit.  Fine job of performance and producing, this is a good sounding record.  ;D ;D ;D

This is really, really good. A beautiful and crisp interpretation of a classic with everything in the right place. The vocals realy are standout though. Fantastic.

Nearly missed this. As everyone has said before, great vocals. It could almost be a JC tribute :)

I too would love to know what you're bashing away on for the drums. Sounds like a box of some description.
Seems quite in keeping with the song though.

Very Apt

The percussion is just a hand drum (bata drum I believe it's called) mic'd with my dual ribbon with reverb and repeat effects added. Thanks for noticing :)
