‘China Grove’ (THE DOOBIE BROTHERS) Cover by The HSCC

[@johnomalley1034]

This is such a great example of how well Con creates ensembles that are such perfect fits for songs has selected; the dynamic duo of Con and George, with the added clout and skills of Dusty, create such a phenomenal rendition of a classic...and those young ladies, wow. I seem to gravitate especially to the songs recorded in this 'Red Carpet Studio'. Thanks for all the great music HSCC!!

[@gremtoy]

This is literally Doobie perfection in every way - spirit, vocals, musicianship, WOW!!!

[@Straightupshooter]

The mixing engineer is a genius. I can hear each instrument crystal clear and voices. Perfection.

[@theHindleyStreetCountryClub]

That’s Dave Ross mate ✊✊😀

[@danielkokal8819]

I agree, the mix is excellent. the overall presentation was tight as a drum. and I'm sorry but chick backup singers make me weak. glad to have found the HSCC

[@MusicAnirban]

Agreed, the audio balancing shines in every song. Hats off to consistency.

[@radioace318la]

that's exactly what caught my attention. not to mention the smoking hot lady backup singers.

[@archerpiperii2690]

After reading your comment, I went back and listened again, and again, and again. You're right, the mixing engineer did a fantastic job. And while they all sounded great, I thought the guy on the Les Paul really rocked it. Phoenix, AZ.

[@notEggsLamar]

whoever did the engineering on this deserves a medal or something, its so dialed in, sounds just like the record! Well done everyone, definitely the best classic rock cover I've ever heard, fantastic job!!

There are some hella good cover bands on YT-to name a few not in any particular order: Lexington Lab Band, Leonid & Friends, Martin Miller, Foxes and Fossils, all excellently engineered and in many cases better than the originals in my opinion. Surfing cover bands is my latest obsession.

I haven't heard this song for a long time, and I had to listen to the Doobies original after hearing this version, and I have to say that I think this version blows the original out of the water, in my opinion.

[@daveross-obsessedwithsound6236]

@@beyondonethousand Hi, just so you know we are not trying to copy and recreate the original song, If that is what you are after, you will find the original artist would do this quite well. HSCC do our own renditions; sometimes making only subtle changes, sometimes complete reworks. These changes can include rhythm, tempo, key, style almost always some kind of arrangement rehash, quite often chord changes/substitution. Our intention is to pay respect to the song whilst doing it the HSCC way, everything we play is completely intentional.(well almost) I hope you continue to enjoy our weekly releases Cheers Dave #ObsessedWithSound

[@hansgordy]

Excellent cover. Great guitar player.

[@389293912]

Seriously George's rhythm opening on this is the best ever, even better then the Doobie themselves. It's Epic. The timing on the riff has to be perfect to make the magic happen. Honestly every player in this is better then the original. Dusty's solo is a masterpiece.

[@ROCKSTARCRANE]

The trick to playing this live is setting your delay pedal time to the correct song tempo, then hoping your drummer stays on it. If the repo drifts, that delay gets real sloppy.....

[@John_Michael2000]

There needs to be echo on the guitar during those opening chords

[@4gigtech]

Fabulous opening! Best cover I have ever heard! I’m 69 from the southern US and I have seen the Doobie Bros several times. This kills it! Nice job!

[@woodywoodpecker9408]

If you're a "seasoned musicion" and you thought this was great, you must be tone deaf. The only thing good about this band is the bass player, keyboardist & guitarists. The girls sang out of key most of time & the drummer was way off time & wasn't playing right notes. I dont even know what the "bongo" guy was doing. This is from a real professional session drummer!!!

[@BirdYoumans]

Wow! I wasn't expecting that at all. You guys and gals had me from the first guitar chords, which were played with the exquisite touch the Doobies give everything. Then the singer comes in and kills it and then the girls dancin' and ooin' and then the guitar ride was quite good. All the instruments were good. I'm not sure the Doobies do it much better if any. Kudos guys. Very good cover! I seldom listen to a cover from start to finish because frankly, most aren't very good. But you were able to overcome my ADD until my OCD kicked in lol!

Keep up the great work EVERYONE!

Nice seeing and hearing more of Doobie Brothers. Everything's on point on this one: mixing, mastering, instruments, vocals, backing vocals. Sounds like HSCC is getting back to its tracks and to a high level performance. We all know that after Darren departured the sound as a whole production level started to seem a little off, not because of a lack of talent. Actually, all musicians are very talented in their own style and ways. I feel that the production was, somehow, trying to find its way as well, and after this one, I guess that everything's gonna get better now on. Keep on the good work, you're all an inspiration for all of us, no matter which band line up is performing. I'm a fan, thank you for your service!!! Best regards from Brazil
