Always liked this song from Clapton , but originally from John Marytn , Bit of a first for me in posting a vocal on here , i enjoyed recording the acoustic guitars which is another first for me , i hope it all comes through the way i hope it sounds to the listener ,any feedback would be useful

Fantastic Dunny! I'm not familiar with this Clapton song but you sure make it sound good. Excellent vocal, excellent acoustic guitar tone and playing. I really enjoyed your outro acoustic lead!

I'm a huge fan of John Martyn's 'Solid Air' album where this comes from. It's such a great feel-good song, and you've made it even more upbeat than the original to my ears (have never heard the Clapton version) but retained all that lovely acoustic warmth and comfort. It's a great performance - great guitar, vocal, bass, and production choices. That ending - just gorgeous acoustic lead playing. Wow!

This is superb. And I'm already onto the third listen.

Congratulations!
I didn't know the song, not even John Martyn (Clapton, yes, of course...)

so I listened to Clapton's and John Martyn's version on YT ...and your version is great...

It respects the original version without trying to cahnger no=i the melody, nor the rhythm,...it's the way I like the cover which is a kind of homage to a song as it was originally written.

I approached this cautiously. I am a huge John Martyn fan, saw him live several times in his heyday and Solid Air was (and still is) one of my favourite albums. I've never hear the Clapton version, so this was like a new version to me. And fortunately, you did a great job here. This keeps the spirit of the original but has a different take. It's beautifully done and your vocals are great. Really enjoyed this, well done!

JP it is very nice that you take the time you do to listen to the original and the other versions....and the SC version becomes that much more important to you.  That is very special... I see from your postings that you are a thoughtful and kind person!  I really like those qualities alot!
