70's Fest: 'Don't it Make my Brown Eyes Blue' - Crystal Gayle cover (1977)

[Greeny]

Hofner verithin, single track vocal, and a barely audible dash of Thumbjam pedal steel and cello.

All done on the MBR.

Always liked this song, and never thought I'd cover it  

[Curd]

The original always bugged me.  Yours is much better.

[Oldrottenhead]

braw tell yer maw.

[64Guitars]

Great cover of a great song.

[fenderbender]

 
Super version greeny
I used to always like the song -until I recently started going to a music club and a girl sang it one night
but you have restored my liking of the song

Tommy


ps. wish you had'nt mentioned verithin -always my big regret that I sold mine in the old black and white days.

[Hilary]

Oh I love this song and you've cut straight through the cheese and done a real honest cover - lovely

[Hook]

Very nicely done, an honest and intamate performance. You have given this tune some credibility.
Rock on!

[Vanncad]

Nice one Greeny. I'll have to play this one for the wife. She's a Crystal Gayle fan.

P.S. - I think of this tune every time I hear Old Rotten Head say "FMGWABP" (Now that would make your "brown eye" blue! )

[henwrench]

Wicked! Yeah, great song, always liked this too. In fact, I'm sure I've got it on 7" somewhere...nice job, good choice!

Haven't heard this for ages, never really liked or disliked the original, but this is superb and your choices so far have been quite surprising as was expecting a load of T Rex stuff from you for this fest
