Oh I really enjoyed that. Love the guitar sound. It'd be interesting to know how he got that. Doesn't sound like just a P90 pickup. I suspect the vocal moc is picking up a lot of acoustic sound from the hollow body. Lots of string and pick noise. (nicely). I figure the mag pickup is mostly filling out the bottom end.
Quite nice.

Strange tuning. Capo on the 5th fret and the bass note is F. Like C tuning capo 5?

Lovely song.
I also love the film set. Anyone catch that he's sitting in an upended wheelbarrow?

Ha, ha, ha. Yes. He's sitting in a wheel barrow in a garage. Gas cans on the floor. Only lighting comes from the open garage door. A couple of amps and an empty beer bottle. Garage band headquarters.
Very nicely done.

Everything is right about that video. Great setting, lovely honest performance, good sound and editing, and most of all he's smiling all the time and not singing to the camera.

What a great song and performance. James, when he said Ronny Lane, do you know if that’s THE Ronny Lane, from the Faces?

Wow, it was. That doesn’t sound like a Ronnie Lane song, but I admit I didn’t know much about him outside the Faces. I like this version much better, this fellow knows how to arrange a tune.

A little appreciation of the song and ponderings about Lane's "bucolic yearning". www.theguardian.com/music/2012/mar/15/ronnie-lane-poacherThere is a podcast I listen to called Folk on Foot*. The video was recorded in Chris's garage during lockdown for one of their two online folk days featuring lots of notable folkies. They are on YouTube. Quite a mixed bunch of artists but some really nice stuff in parts. I sent a few quid. *https://www.folkonfoot.com/ |

Epiphone Casino. Copy of the Gibson ES-330. Or maybe the ES-125. Thin hollow body (plywood top). No 2x4 down the middle. Light weight. I had 2 ES-330s in the early 90s. Sold them in some swap deal. I'd love to have another, but their value has climbed beyond my comfortable reach.  |
