I've never been called 'almost heavy metal.'   But that LPG with bass mag pup has that sound.  So I don't mind at all.  Thanks, Rick.

Excellent cover Uncle! My third listen, better each time. Almost heavy metal for traditional players, love it!

Thanks, Andries. 

Thanks, Dave,  Agreed, Dave.  He was one of the few best of the singer songwriters.

Nice one John

Great choice for a song, and I like your version: putting’ it in the folk tradition instead of the kinda fast boogie blues shuffle. I always like that verse ‘bad news from Houston’ like it really captured a time and place, and TVZ and the poor man precarious hard livin’ musician life.
