Don't Think... ORH Cover

[Mike_S]

So...

I though I would try another Early Years cover. It's a hard task trying to pick one... for a lot of reasons, but I decided to try and give my take on one of ORH's tunes. At first I attempted another track "Just a Song", but after a couple of days of trying and pretending to myself it wasn't too bad, it dawned on me my version was actually pretty dreadful, so thankfully I came to my senses and went back and picked a different track. This one I found easier.

Like the man says... it is what it is. Hope it's ok...

Loving those caveman drums that starts it all off.

James has a very distinctive way of strumming and you've captured it perfectly here and even added your own style to it.

I love how you've arranged it and how it together with your voice gives it a darker edge.

Well done Mike!!! A great tribute

Brilliant Mike, what a fantastic tribute, a big thumbs up here. Well done...... Alex

You're on fire lately, Mike! Not an oldrottenhead song I was familiar with, but this version is great. Your vocal and guitar sounds a lot like the man himself.

Going to check out the original next.

I listened to the original first.

Fine song with a dark vibe and the interpretation by you gives some extra flavor. Everything works nicely and the production is just top class!

Massive wall of sound...and I'm with Cuthbert,  you are raising the bar very high lately...
Even though it's a cover it's definitively Mike S rugged unique fantastic sound scape...
Cool cover of a very developed and skilled songwriter

Fabulous Mike, great melancholy to this song of James'. Excellent jangly guitar, groovin bass and a real foreboding vocal to top things off.

Cheers Mike, sorry for being so late to the party but as you know i was on holiday last week. Mike kindly mailed this to me before posting, and i was blown away as i listened on a Spanish balcony watching the sun go down whilst quaffing a lovely Rioja.
Thank you so much Mike, am now back home listening on the PC monitors and blown away again.
