    Stumbled onto this video with no prior knowledge of this band. When I saw what they were going to attempt to cover, I said out loud “now I have to hear this”. Wow!!! The guitarist is fantastic and then when the big man opened his mouth, I said out loud again, “no fucking way”. Probably the best cover of this song I have ever heard. Outstanding!!!!

      I know, right!? I make a stop here at least once a month just to hear it one more time, and every time it I notice something new. It's a performance that transcends words. One of those rare pieces of music where the only real way to describe it is to just hit play and listen to it again.

    One of my all time favorite songs, one of those you pull out at a campfire and blow everyone's mind if you can play and sing it halfway decent. Well good sirs, ya'll blew my mind with this rendition from pillar to post! Super tight rhythm, innovative improvisation, lovely exploration of the piece to make it your own performance. Drummer and bassist are SO pocket-perfect behind-the-beat funk together , with that "uuuhhhh!" you can't describe. Right from the get go, it's like a security blanket having a solid drummer like that, driving that beat home, but playing musically off his mates. Guitarist has some great chops and keys off and gels with the rest of the rhythm section like they are sharing a mind...shreds something to melt your face off, then takes the dynamic down as the bass hits some complementary pinch harmonics that all love but only a few understand just how amazing ...all while a brilliant soul singer BELTS it like tomorrow is his last day on earth, feeling the rhythm, the groove, jamming with his bandmates....then unleashing otherWORLDLY tones! Seriously, you guys made my night!

      @@ricoamero6400 I agree my friend! There's just something ethereal and almost other-worldly when you see that one person in the crowd who in that moment in time, is feeling EXACTLY what you are because of what you are doing, and (I know this will sound a bit cheezy...I'll blame it on my synaesthesia haha) you suddenly become essentially a cosmic tour guide, outside of time, connecting and moving someone you never even met before. By the way, I'd love to collaborate at some point, seeing as how easy it is to do so remotely these days. I have a particular tune with a bluesy soul feel I think your vocals would blow the roof off of (and for that matter your band could cut loose on as well...SOLID chops, every one of them). Do you do any writing? Cause I'd be interested to hear any lyrical ideas you might have as well. At any rate and at the very least, we can swap tunes and stories, right? :) I also just had a dumbass moment and noticed that this was recorded in Michigan! Not sure why I didn't notice that before, especially since I live there too haha! Who knows, maybe we could jam in person someday.
