I Can't Explain - T.C. covers The Who

[T.C. Elliott]

I saw there was only one cover song so far and figured I'd give it a go. I have to admit that I know the Scorpions version much better than the original.

Recorded on my Boss BR-900
Track 1: Guitar (doubled and delayed for the Haas effect to make it sound wider and more full)
Track 2: Bass Guitar (my acoustic/electric DI)
Track 3: Vox (I tracked it twice, this is the second take. I probably should have comped it, but my voice was starting to give out and I was afraid they wouldn't match up that well.)
Track 4: (1-3 virtual tracks) Backup Vox
Track 5: Guitar Solos 1 and 2 (I used the wah preset to get a sort of classic rock vibe)
Track 6: Drums via EZdrummer plugin using the stock Rock midi. I rendered as Wav and mixed from there.

Mixed in Reaper.  A little EQ on several tracks, Headcrusher comp on the drums, Mcompressor on a couple of tracks including the lead vocal. All vocals have at least a touch of delay (I prefer delay to reverb.) And the background vox were panned a bit.

Top class performance TC, some nice guitar work going on here.

One of the best Who songs, imo!

Your interpretation sounds so good! Well sung and and backing vocals is nicely panned!

Top class production, too!

Great version! Got to admit I had no idea The Scorpions had done a version of this. I love the energy you've captured here. Great performances & a brilliant production!

[ODH]

Great version.  Loving your vocal on this.

[Farrell Jackson]

A cool version of I Can't Explain T.C.! I also didn't know The Scorpions had covered it. I'll have to look it up. Good production, performances and your vocals are top notch!
