One never knows what will turn up when you click on a unknown cover of a favorite song. Often you click away after a few moments but once in awhile you find a gem! I was enthralled by your performance of this beautiful song and am off to listen to your other videos. You have talent and I hope you enjoy many, many years of making music. Thank you for sharing this with us.
I am uncertain at this point how many times I saw Richard Thompson , but I paid to see him more times than anybody else , but I alway's looked forward to hearing this one by him . I just wish for you to know that I enjoy your offering here just as much and I'm truly grateful to your efforts here , wonderful performance and what a beautiful home as well ! Best wishes to you !!!
I love this song and listen to all the different versions by different artists. I always come back to this video because it is hands down my favorite version I have found so far.
Pure class. One of my favourite songs. I could never play it on guitar so I play an effort on my Uke. Hairs on my neck stood out while listening to this. Beautiful Guitar. Beautiful Song Beautiful Performance. Thank you Enjoyed the dog photobombing
I do so love coming across magical videos like this, just one of us with an insane amount of talent playing in a living room with dogs, family photos, and stuff around...thank you.
It's a rare occasion when an artist produces a cover that surpasses the original. But I find myself listening to this rendition more than I have been listening to Thompson. England loves you Macyn ;)
Loved it, watched it a couple of more times. Good voice (perfect story tellin'), impressive playing, great lyrics (RT) and the guitar---aw, so sweet and beautiful.
I recently fell in love with this song. Then tried to play it and was stumped. You make it look so easy. It is now my mission to learn it as well as you.
Love this version to show where the 6/4's make sense, but also where they can go away. A very inspiring arrangement, especially for trying to play this with other folks and stay grounded in 4/4. Thank you....8 years later!
I wonder if it is true, that the Vincent Black Lightening of which the song refers is the one at century Cycles in San Pedro Ca. I was told by the owner of years ago, Cindy...a lovely red headed energetic Vincent enthusiast, that the song was written for her. It was based on a brief relationship she had with James and that in fact the bike has been in her bedroom ever since he died. She has since passed and Century Cycles is now owned and operated by her son I believe. Her Vincent is now on display among many other classics in the showroom, along with a touching tribute to Cindy and her father. A touching and moving little piece of music.
He said that the bike was always the go to dream bike from when he was a kid, when he started writing the song the only piece he had was the vincent black lightning and he wrote everything around that.
You nailed it Macyn...what an awesome job you did on this song! Beautiful verses you have down and the picking is right on! You rock girl! Best of luck to you in ALL of your future musical endeavors!! God Bless~
Wow. Your cover gave me goosebumps. A great voice and the guitar playing was magnificent. Mr. Thompson would probably love your cover, too. Thanks for posting.
Wow. I can only imagine the time put in to master those picking skills . Forget these shredders this is pure talent. What an incredible . Thank you ..👏👏👏🇬🇧
Great guitar work...great singing...Macyn you captured the true spirit of an all time great acoustic song. As a long time fellow guitar player, I am in awe of your talent...I am so glad I ran across your version of this tune. Oh and Bruce, that is one fine guitar as well

From one musician to another, good job. And for those that didn't like this, you weren't paying attention. Go back and listen to it again.

... one of the greatest love songs ever written.. fantastic cover.. Wow!
Yep. Richard Thompson is in his own class.
This is just wonderful...that guitar tone and the voice so suit....👍🎼🏴
This is hands down the best version of '1952 Vincent Black Lightning' I have ever heard.
I believe Richard Thompson would applaud your rendition of this petrolhead anthem! Bloody well done!
