Eyesight To The Blind - Cover with CBG Resonator

Rough and ready in the style of Sonny Boy Williamson II. I listened to live recording with him singing and playing harp licks. I can't play the licks as well, but the rough vocals come naturally! Bad Finger CBG with brass resonator cone by Old Lowe. Mojobone Works half and half slide.

It's the thought that counts...and the sincerity of the thought.

Thanks guys! I don't know if this worked with the wife as an apology. May not be her idea of a love song....

Well done Eric. Sounds from deep down and not forced.

Good stuff Eric!

Thanks Mr. melo.  All my videos are just shot with my Samsung Galaxy 4 phone then uploaded straight to YouTube with no editing.  Sometimes I'll add a YouTube effect to the video part after uploading, but often I don't.

I have a simple recording app on the phone (J4T) which has some minor effects, but I can't record audio and video separately.  The house has gone totally mobile for computing.  2 smartphones and 3 tablets with no PCs or laptops.

if you recorded that with a cathedral effect on your voice would sound amazing man:) eyesight to the Blind...great hook

Comment by Bad Finger (Eric) on February 28, 2014 at 6:24am

Thanks everyone.  This was the recording that kicked me off.  I didn't use exactly the same lyrics, opting for a bit of the Clapton and Aerosmith versions instead.
