MorrisrownSal Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Yeah I love this song, and Anne would kick this one. So would BBG. So guys, what do you say. One and all, create your version and let's hear it. Mine again: https://soundcloud.com/sal-from-chatham/icy-blue-heart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnneS Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Don't think I managed to kick this, exactly, but I said I'd give it a whirl and so I have. Played possum around the higher parts 'cuz of throat problems, so it's truer than ever that my style is the product of my (considerable) limitations-- Still, I had fun, and this is a great song...Good find, Sal.

MorrisrownSal Posted February 5, 2014 Author Share Posted February 5, 2014 Anne. I love how it starts with some quiet picking, but then In the second verse it varies with a little strum here and there. It adds a dimension and interest. You are crazy if this doesn't become part of your set list. Now that's what I'm taking about! Friggin awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdd707 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 BUMP .... I wanna here some more versions! Been out of pocket for a while and just wanted to comment: Sal ..... you are indeed the King of songs, know and obscure. Thanks again for turning the forum on to an oldie goldie .... I found Emmylou's version on an old album of her's. In that case, it was sorta (in my mind at the time) a filler in "Bluebird" .... backup vocals by Bonnie Raitt (hard to beat that). Frankly it stands out with the two versions here unlike on the album at the time. I thought your version was wonderful ... loved the great strumming right at the song .... I also like anything you sing .... good work. Anne ..... fixin' to say something that may never have, nor never again, come from these lips ..... I liked your version better than Emmylou's! Take that as high parise coming from this house. Great how you kept it low, laid back ... teased us by picking it up a bit ...... and then pulling back again to really capture the feeling and essence of the scene. Gee what a wonderful song and story about something that takes place in a bar in about the same amount of time as it takes to sing the song. Great Job! Hope others will try and that's one reason I'm bumping it back up. Before I disappeared, I was working on my own version, laid back and finger patterned picked .... never got it just right nor recorded. So I'm back among the living and hear Anne's laid back version and thought now what can I do ? ..... ummmm? It struck me to ask the question us bama boys often ask "How would Waylon sing it? LOL. The Answer is with a Tele and a five piece band starin' at his back .... to include a moanful steel string. Hey a tasteful acoustic slide in exactly the riight places would be great here ..... lots of empty space available. So I changed some words, tried a couple of different time sigs, countryfied it (everything I sing sounds country anyway) and GOD it was awful. But Waylon could have pulled it off As an aside ..... Hank did it best on this subject with Cold, Cold, Heart. So come on folks, the week is over but this is a great song ...More versions, please!

MorrisrownSal Posted February 9, 2014 Author Share Posted February 9, 2014 Thanks brother! Bummed we didn't attract more interest? I would lived to have seen some of the gang weigh in. Maybe we should all just pick up Martins and play Peaceful Easy Feeling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No interest means just that - people weren't interested. Make a more interesting post, or pick a more interesting song. Live with the results. Offending forum members isn't going to get you closer to the attention level you would be satisfied with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry K Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Anne made a valiant effort there and I love her voice, the vibrato... Unfortunately even she can't save this song. The lyrics are trite and obvious, the melody is far from memorable. Is there even a melody? It's kind of vague. The narrative, such as it is, is ponderous and leaves me far from thawed. Next!

Make no mistake I am not here to amuse you or entertain you, and I have no disillusionment of my skill and singing level... This is a hobby for me, and sharing it is usually enjoyable. So, with the greatest respect, I would like to suggest where you can shove your picking thumb. I also suggest you block my posts; I will do that for yours now.
