"Jolene" - Geir covers Dolly Parton

[Geir]

So ... I was originally going to do this as a psyc version, but 2regs beat me to it So this is reeeaaaly stripped down.


It is recorded more or less the same way as Ain't no sunshine.

Just my voice and guitar ... recorded live in the living room ... with a storm outside ....

Recorded on the BR800 with a Behringer condenser for vox and a dynamic for the guitar... added a touch of reverb on the guitar .... mastered with a tweaked version of the "acoustic" preset.

cheers

This is Legit, Geir!! Love it man - Beautiful guitar pickin' and singin'...and a storm?! It's perfect!

nice cover... I hadn't heard much of your stuff but I came across "The Life of a Bubble."  I liked all the main 4 versions.  I thought they were all uniquely interesting.  I was thinking your vocals in the lower register especially remind me of Mark Knopfler... that is pretty darn good.... I think I might have heard this song once or twice before...not much...nice job here and I heard Trevors version....I don't see why you couldn't also do a psyche cover.... oh well, this is great...
btw... I made a remix of the "Life of a Bubble" and it includes some of the vocals from yours, ORH, Launched and Saijinn.... I didn't know if you got to hear it?  I know not everyone likes that sort of thing but I thought it was very cool.....

An excellent cover intimate vocal and beautifully picked guitar Bravo

An excellent version,I love the way the vocal jumps up to the higher register at around  the 1 min mark.
Great to hear that vocal again.
Bravo.

I'm glad you didn't do a Fester as we wouldn't have heard this - beautiful 

[ODH]

Power control and simplicity. Great version.

(I think you could've gone with "man" though and owned it. "Please don't take my man")

A very powerful and emotional vocal delivery!  Great use of volume modulation to keep the listeners attention! 

[cuthbert]

Your fingerstyle and dynamic vocals on this really make it for me - great to see you back, Geir!
