    Very nicely done, with strong emotion in the tone and fluid phrasing that brings out the melancholy quality of MK's original. Remember, folks, it's one thing to copy a guitarist's licks and quite another to create them in the first place. But a legitimately faithful and soulful cover version is to be respected.

    To me, it's amazing how one man can bring a tear to another mans eye with the feelings he can put into the strings of a guitar, and not sing a word!
