AR Roots: Me and Bobby McGee - cover by AndyR

[AndyR]

I was flapping around working on something else with just vocal and guitar the other day. It wasn't going well, so I just started slapping the guitar and singing one of my favourite songs.

What I didn't realise was that I was recording it...

So, here we have Kris Kristofferson's Me and Bobby McGee.

It has the odd issue – spot of distortion on the original vocal, a fluffed chord when I noticed the record light was on , too much noise because I was dancing about, etc.

But... my jaw dropped when I heard what had ended up "on tape". And the missus said POST IT!!!! So the other thing can wait for a bit.

I've been singing this song for years and years and years. I absolutely adore it.

This is a great cover of a great song.
Glad you listened to your missus and shared this.

JOA

Oh I love this song too - always listen to your wife Andy - she's always right 

[Oldrottenhead]

Raw tell yer maw!  bloody magic.

[AndyR]

Thanks folks (and I didn't actually need to listen to the missus in this case - there was no way I was not going to post it when I'd listened to what had happened! )

[Geir]

Oh wow ! Knew it was gonna be good, but this is off the scale good !!!!

A video next time ? Pretty please ?

[Greeny]

Have loved this song for more years than I care to remember. What a stellar version this is... sounds so good stripped down, and your vocal is sublime. Can't tell you how much I enjoyed this one :-)

A video next time ? Pretty please ?

I did wonder, but someone would have to buy a video camera in this house first. We wondered about it for a pressie for Rachel a while back, but then we realised I'd be getting her a pressie that I'd want her to be using to film me every weekend!!

I've also got a standing invite from Tharek for the vimeo thing. Originally I wasn't convinced I could carry it off, but I'm slightly more rehearsed on acoustic solo stuff than I was back then, so mebbe... (assuming he's still doing it!)

Sweet recording , great performance Andy

[Rata-tat-tat]

Man it don't get no better than this... A guitar and an awesome voice. Love this tune... you've made it top shelf all over again Andy. I'll be listening to this many times. Thanks for sharing...
