My cover of the ZZ Top song.  I've wanted to do this one for a while and this is my chance.  I decided to cover the version that they performed on OGWT, which is a bit different to the studio version

Usually I start a cover and it ends up meandering off in whatever direction it choses and my job is to sheppard it safely home.  This time though I tried to be more true to the original.

Bass & drums are assembled in Garageband, as is the organ (which is in the original if you listen closely).  Then one guitar track and two vocals.  No uke.

Great job... I was thinking it could use some uke though🃏
I was just a casual enjoyer of ZZ Top, small Doses suited me fine, but I could and Will listen to this many times. Very cool cover.
Rock on!

No uke.

I was marveling how you played the main rhythm on uke, and then I read this.

Great cover.

Even so, it's rocking! Nice riffage.
