E-minor7 Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 (edited) Ouh thanx - a very fine version of this oldie. A favorite of mine and one played for decade after decade after decade here. Can I respond with a tune from that very same pocket. Recorded one early morning in June - when just learning the new system, , , and before getting my closed back cans. We hear the ragged old-vase-ivory-saddle-insert 1965 Country Western Edited September 29, 2022 by E-minor7 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duluthdan Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 Outstanding - that J45 shows why its perfect for stuff like this - Love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombywoof Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 Cracker Jack Job! That remains the only Donovan song I have ever bothered to work out. I, however, was inspired more by the version the Blues Project recorded in 1966 which remains my favorite take on that tune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thoughts too. Before I grabbed the J-45 I was playing the song on my Martin 000-15M and something was missing. I picked up the J-45 and bam there it was.

olie Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 I still have that album from the day and it bears all the pops and scratches that a great piece of vinyl deserves. Thanks for the memory. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rustystrings Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Really lovely rendition - thank you! And yes, the J-45 was absolutely the right guitar! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissouriPicker Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Excellent cover of a sweet song. Your voice and guitar are a good match……. Donovan was never a favorite of mine when I was a kid, but when I got older and gained some commonsense I began to appreciate his music. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
