Thanx for the kind comments guys and gals !!

As I did this rather quickly, and not knowing the words before I ran through it 4-5 times before recording, I wasn't really happy with the vocals (only hearing the flaws). But listening to it now I see some good qualities in the voice that you guys have helped me get out with all of your supportive feedback these last two years. Thank you !!!!!

And Tim, I will ..... if you help me out with some guitar and harmonyvocals ;)

You are on fire lately Geir, and whilst the original is not a song I would have made a point of listening too, your version here is just stunning, there is a real warmth to this.

That vocal...wow!!

Loved this song oh so many years ago, and what you've done with it is remarkable -your treatment makes it edgier and more outlaw than the original, and I like your version better.

Love the percussion, makes your version jump out with character.

Hi Geir. What a brilliant version. You've brought a tired old song screaming into the 21st century. It sounds so fresh. Your vox are spot on for this track. Your playing is truly first class. Excellent stuff  ;D
