This is simply a demonstration of the talent of normal people sitting in their living rooms and bedrooms and showing off their musical abilities because they have a camera and a place to put the footage.
Dan Allen has only had this viewed 5,771 times, and that is a shame.
Nathan Hanna has had a bigger audience with his version of Remedy, which is a good one. Also, the song is older than he is. Now we’re all old.
He admits this is rough, but my favorite thing about Will Minning’s version of Jealous Again is that less than 200 people have heard it so far. No matter. He’s giving his all:
And I didn’t even have to use She Talks to Angels!
There are a lot of covers of specific instruments in Crowes songs. Here’s the guitar from Soul Singing:
People are very talented, aren’t they?
Have a great weekend!
