I can dig it. Nice smooth vocals, the banjo picking pattern is among my faves, and those drum flourishes are pretty fab as well.

Rock on!

That singing! Can you sell it in a bottle? I could use it. The banjo playing isn't giving you any pain. I like the way the song starts in a simple manner and grows as it progresses. The short banjo playout sections with rhythmic support are also quite effective.
This is a full blown production of a song / performance that feels still quite "homey". Me like!

Don't know the song but really enjoyed listening to your version. So laid back I nearly fell off my chair. My predictive text wanted "nearly fell off my chicken"

A whole load of Hook goodness. Love it when the drums come in, and the 'live' percussion is essential to how cool the track is (i.e. could never be programmed like that). Amazing performance!

Like Tim, I like the drums kicking in, it just picks the whole thing up, a tragic song.
