Re: November 2016 FSOTM - Friends in low Places - Hide your love away

I spent six weeks working on Ripple, and six seconds working on Friends In Low Places.  I honestly had not even got through the lyrics the whole way before trying it.  I didn't realize when I started that I had pulled a non-radio version of the lyrics.  LOL!  So - absolute first attempt, period, on this song... 

Edited out link.  I'll edit it back in.  Soundcloud appears to have frozen in processing of the song.

If I didnt know better I would have thought that was David Byrne of Talking Heads doing that cover. It came out real good.

OK here is my take on "You've Got To Hide Your Love Away" and, just for a change, no multi recordings, just me and my 12er. I have also used YouTube this time:

Now this is another one that I have never heard in my life before it appeared on here, again I have done a single take with just me and a Nashville tuned guitar:

Roger ................. having trouble getting back onto Sound clou, it seems to be not working at present  (after just being on there a few minutes ago) so will endeavor to listen to your second cover once Sound Cloud link is back up and running.

It's kind of a fun song to play.  I may give my neighbors some wine and then record it again with a room mic and them singing along on the choruses.  One of my neighbors picks too, so he can strum along.
