Norwegian Wood (Beatles cover)

[Rolow]

The BR community changed format just in time for this post.  Part of it was recorded on non-Boss equipment.

Back in 1987, I had a Takamine 12 string and a 2 track (stereo) recorder.  I sang into one mic (cheap dynamic), and played into the other; but both tracks had crossover, especially the vox had crossover of the guitar.  Of course, this was one take - no overdubbing in 1987.

Recently, I found the cassette tape.  I put it into Audacity and cleaned it up a bit.  Then download in stereo to the BR600.  I added the harmony vox, and, since my sitar is in the shop, used an electric guitar with tremelo fx for the lead.

So here's an old favorite, recorded over a span of 22 years.

This is probably one of the best covers of this song that I have heard.  You are right on it!!  Even if 22 year span.  Best cover I think I have ever heard.!!

[Rolow]

Thanks for all the kind words.  The Beatles are probably the most covered band in histor, but right now I feel inspired to give it another go.

Thanks for listening.

The recording is a bit scratchy, understandably given the old source tape, but the vocals are awesome, as good as Lennon's, yet yours have their own flavor.
