I Am the Highway - Audioslave (Acoustic Cover)

I got quite a few comments suggesting I Am the Highway by Audioslave so I learned it a few days ago. It's really not an easy song to sing. I certainly don't have Chris Cornell's vocal range so I've tuned the guitar down an entire step so I can actually sing it. I hope you enjoy my take. ''I was lost in the cities, alone in the hills'' Man, I can relate to that. Thanks for watching!

[@rivercrombie]

I'm happy to hear song suggestions. Maybe I'll get to them sometime. Let me know down below! Cheers, River.

[@rivercrombie]

Thanks, man. I haven't heard Mosquito Song. I'll definitely give it a listen! @@ookadoo

[@Espring07]

If you like STP you could try out Pretty Penny it is a great song!

[@lwwells]

STP “Big Empty”

[@shaunbrown3435]

I'll bet you'd do a really amazing Creep, by Radiohead.

I went right from Down In A Hole to this. This guys is brilliant

[@rubenpapa100]

Same… damn he’s good

[@puddking]

Same haha

[@chadmccollister]

Stumbled on Down in a Hole and I’m on his 4th video here now. His originals are great too and the ambience of his vids are simple and refreshing. Beautiful stuff River, keep publishing more ✌️

[@KennySchmaling]

Ditto!

[@namelastname2449]

Insane!!!

[@lwwells]

Man I miss Cornell. This got me 95% of the way there. Beautiful.

[@jasonhathaway9746]

His hit hard because he held it together for so long, and he shared so much with us.

[@jasonc8185]

95% is about right. Dammit, I miss Chris.

[@barrynewman7076]

Brother, don’t stop! Your voice has something most people can only hope for. Gritty and smooth at the same time.

[@Glock9]

[@flora8077]

Went down the KZbin rabbit hole and discovered yet another one of River's fine renditions. Very nicely done.

[@rivercrombie]

Thanks for checking out the videos! 🙏

[@Bronk0Nagurski]

Brother, you did an amazing job on this amazing song.

[@tiltedhorizon1435]

Man, you've got a great voice. Keep em coming! This is my favorite Cornell song. You killed my favorite AiC song, Down in a Hole, and now you're killin this one! Bravo, sir.

[@ChrisSmilen]

I was so stoked to see you put this up. Your range is just within mine and I'm going to be singing this with reckless abandon! Thank you for sharing with us!

[@user-ih3jh5jn6h]

Bro, I wanna cry. Cornell's soul is back.

[@psychotic-artsstudio2729]

Amazing cover of an amazing song done by one of the greatest singer and song writers ever imo, and you did an awesome job taking Chris's song and doing it justice, keep going dude....

[@meateatinpatriot]

That’s an awesome cover

[@minormunitions]

This and “shine” are the two songs I’ve been waiting for. Thank you sir. Wonderful job!!

[@Xeyedjohn]

No sorrow or pity for leaving, I feel, yeah. What a wonderful cover, thank you for posting.

[@serballista]

Fantastic work, truly. You put your style on this one & I’m here for it!

[@feistyfeather]

Wow , great song & killer rendition 🤘🤘

[@Test_Tickles]

Dude, AMAZING cover of my most favorite Audioslave song. I like your flair to it, you should try to add the second C/G to Am progression though, you play the first C/G > Am but then go G >Am when you sing "heels". That particular C/G>Am phrasing is why it's my absolute favorite Audioslave song, it add so much depth and character to get that bump and spirit.

[@rickeygammon9160]

Awesome

[@JohnnyBravo-se5gz]

Chris Cornell is my all time favourite vocalist of all time and this brings tears 😭 to my eyes.

The timbre of your voice is so unique. It's hard for folks that have a brighter kind of tone to also pull of gritty, committed melodies. Very well done, sir.
