"I Am A Man Of Constant Sorrow" Geir covers The soggy bottom boys

[Geir]

Some weeks ago I did a recording of this song, but I wasn't happy with it ... and since then I've had next to no time to record anything.

Got in a recording hour today redid it completely .... stripped down basic track Guitar and main vox recorded in one take (the third I think ... screwed up the lyrics the first two ) added harmonyvox and harmonica without pushing stop (touch-buttons are GREAT !!) ..... so it's kinda rough at the edges, but quite a fun song to do ....

Oh my goodness! 

It's an incredible opening. The harmonies are brilliant, the harmonica is spot on, guitar is just like you play it. I can see you stooping in time to the music. Brilliant Geir! 

Nice to hear you my friend.

Love it!

[Oldrottenhead]

i love this song but man o man what a fantastic version, i  hope you get more recording time cos it is a privelege to hear music of this standard, the harmonies are to die for. fmgwabp

[Sundbo]

This is one of your best ever, Geir! So well done in every way. Excellent harmonica 

[Tony W]

Absolutely AWESOME

I love this Geir.

[Bluesberry]

One of my favorite roots songs.  I have dabbled with it, but, damn Geir you frigging nailed this.  I love it when you get rootsy like this, really suits you buddy.  One of the best things I have heard on here in 2011.

[Bluesberry]

Oh, yes, your harmonica is sounding really good Geir, very good sound there.  You have been blowing a bit since Christmas haven't you.  We need to do up a dueling Harp duo some day buddy, that would be fun.

[Blooby]

Wow, did you ever create a vibe with this.  Sounds like T-Bone Burnett produced you on this one.

5 stars.

I can't really find enough superlatives for this one! Absolutely wonderful. Just supreme talent delivered with a gutsy yet classy performance. I love the original, and this is as good a cover as we've ever heard on this site. Will be listening to this one many times.
