it’s funny I came across this. I knew Kurt and his dad really good. I am from Aberdeen Washington. His dad was a tow truck driver at a local Chevron gas station in Aberdeen Wa we used to run around together and do some drinking in bars.I also knew Kurt‘s grandpa.. I actually taught Kurt how to play stairway to heaven on the guitar at Roseveers music store that was in downtown Aberdeen. You did one hell of a job on this.. Thanks
Man, thanks so much for sharing this story! That’s awesome ☺️ Like millions of teenagers Kurt was my absolute idol in the early 90s. So cool that you knew him and his family. All the best for 2025! Cheers.
*Amazing cover.* I remembered April 8, 1994 like it was yesterday. I never had a celebrity death hit me hard until that point. It is always the talented and impactful souls that leave us too early.
My dear River, you are brilliant. It is unbelievable how you cover such a wide range of songs What a cover❣ Now I am listening to your channel over and over again, your variety is hard to believe. Black is still my favorite video (including the sweater😉) and so are your wonderful instrumental pieces. Just keep going....
Thank you ! I will try to do some of your covers . I'm already about to play your breath , Pink Floyd cover ! Your guitar sounds amazing 😃👍 Bonjour de France les amis ✌😉👍🇫🇷
Your guitar playing is great, you keep the rhythm and the feel and intent of the song while not overpowering the singing, such great balance between your singing and the playing!
Haven't seen seen anyone cover nirvana this good since Shaun Morgan from seether. Not even just nirvana, all the grunge covers ive heard are amazing while also putting your own spin on it. Great job man.
Congratulations, friend, once again you have done it masterfully. Pure grunge voice that you are born with, you don't do it no matter how much you practice. You can play all the songs of that style that you want. My most sincere and heartfelt congratulations. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏.... 😁😁😁👋
Amazing, man! Thanks for sharing. That said, people on social media are constantly triyng to nail a comment and get thousands of likes. So boring to see...
Crazy how you can pull off Cobain, Staley, Weiland etc vocal styles without changing your voice at all. Man was born to play grunge
Check out Natew101 for a very similar talent, I think he may have changed his channel name but should find it with that search
It's really impressive. Perfert vocal timing does that.
He has a good voice but let's not pretend grunge artists were high talent apart from staley
100% the best cover on UA-cam.
I dont even see the cover and i agree with
The guitar catches you, and the voice drags you to a peaceful place.

I'm feeling the spirit...
Wow - stunning!
Cheers from Germany
Can’t imagine a better cover than this. Absolutely nailed it
Yet another amazing cover. You never cease to amaze. Would love to see you do a live gig here in Texas!
Killer. Love the down-tuning on this one.
What a ridiculously hard cover to pull off solo acoustic. Fantastic job. Love what you do sir 🫶
More Nirvana and AIC, yeah !
Got me wrong would be great, for sure

Thank you for doing what you do. It's a pleasure listening to you play and sing.
That left pinky could carry home the groceries all by itself.

How come 2024 and i just found your chanel ... Sir ,You were so good and deserves alot more subcriber

Nice cover River, grunge is definitely your comfort spot.
I was looking up this song acoustically last night and rn you did a cover ! Bless ur heart shape box
Just to make things clear, I have no complaints. Excellent job, Mr. Crombie.😀
Wow! This is bloody good. Cheers River
i only clicked to pinch the chords and wasnt expecting this ...great cover
Awesome!!! Congratulations!
Excellent cover. Love the tone - maybe it's just me, or maybe because it's acoustic, but it sounds like it's just slightly lower than the original.
Frickin Awesome. Hell ya 🔥🎵
Wow! Excellent brother ❤
maybe a hard compliment but I found this cover a little better then the original version - long live Nirvana - great job, really great job
Blasphemy.
Outstanding! Thanks for keeping it alive and honoring Cobain. I’m sure he’s proud and smiling right now.
Thank you ! I will try to do some of your covers . I'm already about to play your breath , Pink Floyd cover ! Your guitar sounds amazing 😃👍
