Fire And Rain (James Taylor Cover)

This is one of my favorite James Taylor songs. His finger-style playing is so inspiring for me -- his mastery of thumb and finger independence as well as a his rhythmic variation, never relying on one pattern, but always shifting smoothly from one to another.
Hope you enjoy my take on one of JT's all time classics.

No artist’s cover songs on KZbin has resonated in me more than George Clement’s. Thank you Sir for the amazing songs 🙏🏼

[@marchanselthomas]

You deserve great success and I hope it finds you. Thank you for your music.

[@jimsuesmart]

Takes me back to my high school days and when it was so cool to learn how to play the accoustic guitar songs of James Taylor. Absolutely love your cover. Thank you.

[@chaz3med]

[@joopspijker57]

Loved it Joop from the Netherlands

[@peteralbrechtsen7285]

Absolutely beautiful as always😊

[@czorr1997]

Wonderful! Thanks for this.

[@jimilordofwar]

I've ALWAYS thought you could pull this one off, and I was totally 100% correct 😎. The guitar is always so clean and your voice crisp. Can't wait for the next one.

[@calvus]

Amazing!! Keep It up

[@Graham-c]

You have a special talent my friend ❤

[@stephenvoltz5143]

Great version and song choice mate!

[@cmotdibbler8105]

Perfection dude

[@TraceNixonMusic]

This dude never misses 🙌 Saw his “Greenlight on the Southern” cover a few years back & I’ve been a fan ever since! 🫡

[@glennwidelko]

Simply perfect … as good as the wonderful James Taylor himself … 🙏

[@rabendranath]

Fantastic cover... As usual of course! Bravo!! 👏👏👏👏

[@KootMed]

Fantastic cover👍✌❣

[@dongdong1814]

I love this song and this voice!

[@robertlaguirremusic7381]

You my friend have your own special way to suddenly bring chills and tears with just some guitar notes and your gentle heartbreaking voice....

[@PJCRagg]

So lovey. Thank you.

[@nylonguitar]

Love your talent George! Thank you so much for sharing!

[@key_of_light_1]

Wonderful as usual! I saw on the calendar you guys are heading back to the WA peninsula - hoping to get over there for at least one of the shows! Love the artistry of your playing-singing-writing-arranging. Thanks for sharing!

[@peregrinegrace8570]

Lovely. You realy give me inspiration to carry on playing all these beautiful songs we love .im 3 years into playing and my 2 hours a day are making real progress. Thankyou 😊

[@miamidolphinsfan]

One of my favorite all-time songs...thanks a really awesome cover

[@StuartwasDrinkell]

These are all great covers George I'd pay for a ticket. 🛎 👍 right here!

[@rickguerrero2282]

A really accurate portrayal of the guitar part from the original. Nice work!

[@richardstones6445]

and yet, he really made it his own. Usually if I am learning the songs I've been listening to for 50 years, I want to nail them as close to the original recording as possible. But George seems to always blend in his own style and approach. It is my favorite thing about his covers, finding out how he will interpret them, and it's always brilliant.

[@fredlillo]

Superbe ! Comme d’habitude…

[@philipduttonlescorlett]

Stunning. Loved the emotion and you cannot beat a live performance.

[@365DaysOfFolk]

Beautiful performance, am so inspired by you

[@danswofford]

Wow! This dude is amazing. The guitar playing and singing is fantastic, but the whole vibe and emotion that comes through is spectacular. Thanks!

[@gerardmallon6927]

Just came across you. Your playing is beautiful but your voice is incredible. Glad I came across you. I'll be listening 🎶 😌

[@christophermartin7973]

Yeah this is a perfect cover of this song everyone else besides George and James can stop singing this now lol!!1

[@jasperedwards9200]

Always watch your vids as soon as you drop a new cover and i'm never dissapointed.

[@lenmusic123]

He's back! One of my favourite singers on YT - thanks man for your songs

[@marbleheadsteve79]

Pure class Mr Clements. Just like all your covers. Deserves far more views

[@kprice5877]

Such a really really good musician. You help me to keep playing when I have no inspiration to keep trying. You give us another gem. Thank-you

[@williamblack5869]

Absolutely perfect - both singing and guitar!

[@NickNicometi]

Absolutely nailed this classic. I have to learn to play this for a friend before I lose him, as the song has always reminded me of him for over 40 yrs now. Thank you for showing me what I hope to accomplish.

[@frankgoodwell1261]

Fantastic...

[@Beekindalways-oj2cl]

George. As a former professional sax player who has seen James Taylor perform this song live 9 times. Your performance was simply sublime. Bravo! 🎷🙏🏼🇺🇸

[@cadeturale3103]

Just bought a guitar to accompany me at open mics. Wow! Great voice and playing!!

[@rwilgus]

I feel like you channeled James on this one. Great job George

[@zzcanasta]

Beautiful sensitive cover, as ever. I really admire your playing and singing - you let the light and the air into your songs without losing the substance, and it often transforms the song. That is a very rare gift indeed. Glad I've been around long enough not only to hear it but to appreciate it. Thanks, George. Love from the UK.

[@thesoapboxsalute]

A real fire cover! 🔥Pun intended! Great work buddy!

[@NellieChristopher]

So beautiful, George! 💖🌟

[@grahamewebber4038]

I’ve been listening to JT, and attempting to perform this tune, for around 50 years and I must say I was drawn in from the very first note, you embody a lot of James great attributes.👍✌🏾

[@LukeTaylor-mp1kl]

This was the first JT song I learned to play. What a wonderful rendition you created.

[@dantallman5345]

Another keeper!
