'Blackbird' (Beatles Cover)

[Greeny (No longer active)]

Following on from 'Fields of Gold', here's another joint effort from ronniejm and myself, with Ronnie on guitar and me on vocals.

The bird sounds are taken from Kate Bush's album 'Aerial' (a little bit of a homage to my favourite recording artist...).

Anyway - here it is. And thanks to Ronnie for playing it so beautifully

Sounds great Tim and Ronnie. The singing and the playing.  The guitar tone and playing is so clean and I like the spacial effect created when the vocal gets doubled at 'black bird fly....black bird fly.....'  And the metronome (little brother of the Laughing Gnome) takes care of the percussion.
Very enjoyable!

Very, very nice.  One well played guitar, one well sung vocal, its all you need.  Musical perfection on this one.

I agreee with you about Kate Bush.  She is probably my favorite female recording artist also.  Nice taste in music you have.

Didn't the original version also have a barely audible metronome? If so, another great 'homage'! I really dug this.

[Ronniejm]

Rumour has it, (and it's on the internet so it must be true) that the click track on the original, was paul macartney tapping his foot on the studio floor.

Pretty cool thing if it's true, and it kinda does sound like a foot tapping....I tried it for this one....total disaster, settled for a metronome.

mibbes it had something to do with carpets and slippers

[Flash Harry]

Bloody perfect.

Accomplished and perfectly delivered. This is going onto the music server.

Cheers guys for such a wonderful piece of music.

[ronhh]

Stunning guys!  What a piece of work.  Guitar and vocals are perfect.  Thanks for posting.  On my iPod as of NOW!  Merry Christmas Tim.

This Greeny guy  is killing me here tonight, killing me with his voice!!!!!! Killing me softly with brilliance.  Listen to this folks, download this, listen again, listen in the bath, listen while making supper, listen while making love.  This one can be used for everything.  I said no more Greeny for tonight 2 songs ago, ah well one more won't hurt...
