Great performance and arrangement. Don't know the original, but it's a damn good song. There's a really good feel and vibe about this. Great work!

[Farrell Jackson]

Very well done.....I like the loneliness vibe in this song. I'm not familiar with this JB song but your version sounds great!

Wow! what a good job, recorded and played really well. I 'm not familiar with the track either, but I liked this version.

If I had a bit of something to add, I'd suggest that you use a bit of bottom end roll off when you record the tracks, except for bass, it's not a bad idea to have a high pass filter at 100hz, it will clean up the mix for you. Bass I find needs a high pass somewhere up from 30 - 40 hz with a couple of DB push at 80hz.

Great version Ian.  I'm quite partial to a bit of Bonamassa and I really enjoyed this.  Brilliant.

Lovely performance Ian, really good song, haven't heard it before but you have given it a lot of heart here.

Great performance in terms of singing and playing, and all recorded and mixed very well. Very nice guitar work, which is a good thing when covering Bonamassa 

I once saw him in the absolute pouring rain at Guilfest (open air festival) many years ago. A great guitarist and performer, even in the pouring rain!

[TPB]

Excellent recording loved this cover well done

[Jean Pierre]

the sound is really excellent ...how do you  to have on the voice a delay with only one very discreet echo ??

[kenny mac]

I dont know the original but this is a fine recording.
Like the acoustic and that les paul sounds sweet.
Nice one.
