KILLING THE BLUES , cover Robert Plant and Alison Krauss

[Jean Pierre]

I didn't know this song, even though I didn't know much Robert Plant Oops, yet Led Zeppelin)

I found out about it from my friend George (Dobrodaddy) and I thought that to learn my Lap steel "crank" it would be a good idea to try it out.
I'm getting a little closer with the lap steel and this song goes well with it.
Well, it's not easy to do Alison Krauss' second voice, which is a little high-pitched for me.

[Ferryman_1957]

Very nice indeed JP, I thought you did really well with the vocals. Some tight trousers no doubt....

It sounds lovely, I like all the nice little touches in there and the lap steel sounds very good to me.

[Jean Pierre]

merci mon ami,

I am  D+4 post confined .. heureusement qu'il y a la musique chez moi

I should point out that the author and composer of this song is Rowland Salley musician songwriter and bass and vocalist of Chris Isaak

[Mike_S]

Really sweet JP. I don't know the original but I do like Robert Plant and this is a lovely tune very well done... some great noises on the lap steel.

Mike

[Jean Pierre]

Thank you, Mike and Ferryman.

In fact the original version is not by Robert Plant and Alison Krauss but by Rowland Salley who is a musical songwriter (Chris Isaak's bass player).

You must have heard his original version

I enjoyed it very much.  And the production is great.  Great EQ - power in the bass with out sounding muddy.  Excellent.  Love the lap steel too!
