Nice choice. Your voice sounds great on this and I loved the guitar tone as well - I wish that my guitar would sound that good :)

Really fine job from start to finish!

Such a nice and clean recording.
Mike your voice is perfect for this.
Man those guitars give my goosebumps.
Had to D/L but it was going in my
Mike S folder anyway. Great sound!

This is beautifully put together. Such a lush, classy ambiance, and some stellar guitar work. The vocal is fabulous too. I can't see how you could have done any better than this. Awesome.

It's like Dire Straights covering Tom Petty, awesome. Your voice really sounds good on this brother and the guitar just flows.
Rock on!

I don't know the original but it feels like this is a perfect cover of it. You clearly have a deep insight into this music and all the resources to deliver on it. Great work.

Huh, this is a Petty song I was not familiar with.

Great job though.  Love the crisp, clean guitar and the way you play it.  Beautiful.

Vocals also clean as is the whole.  Fine job!

Not the first song that came to mind, but a good one. And I agree with all above. The vocals are good, the guitars are good (and I wouldn't have made the connection, but I can hear the Dire Straits sound now that it's been said out loud.) Another fine tribute.

Another Tom Petty song I'm not familiar with, but it sounds fab, Mike. Nice clean (Strat?) tones, and your vocals sound great!

Well done.

Awesome cover Mike!

The guitars are pristine, and you have a great voice for this style.
I like the way you let the chords ring out. You've got great separation between each guitar part and that makes it sound very full.

Nicely done!
