Lonely Boy - A cover of the Andrew Gold song from 1977 by "The Shut-Inz" (A.K.A. The English Rain)

[@aaxmym]

I dare say Mr. Gold would definitely applaud this rendition.

[@denisemay6807]

OMG, you guys! THAT…WAS…AWESOME!!!!!!! Thank you for the gift of this very excellent “cover” of an old, old favorite of mine that I hold close to my heart and ALWAYS on diverse playlists! You guys were spot-on, funny, and entertaining!

[@veazy1]

Spot on. Great version of a great song. Well done guys.

[@Muesli711]

Deserves a wider audience, superb!

[@skidmo]

Somehow the YT algorithm decided to pop this in my feed at the start of 2025. CRIMINALLY underviewed at just over 12k views. Well done, guys. Well done indeed.

[@tuftoro7111]

The lead guitar part was an amazing upgrade. Awesome job with this song.

[@bradbeam3767]

Yep...I made a comment about the guitar solo a few years ago. Very nicely done , true to the original with the most important notes of the theme/melody/phrasing to keep it very recognizable yet he added some really tasty runs and blues -turnarounds that really made it shine. I love the breakdown of that song in the solo section and personally like his version better than the original , which very rarely do I feel that way about with regards to such classic and memorable parts of songs. They usually should be left the same...in this case,,he knocked it out of the park. ✌️

My older brother was born in 1951, and my sister in 1953.

[@hockeysong]

Wow !!!! Perfect. I just watched Andrews original and you guys nailed it and then some! Awesome on the skins man. Bang on vocals!! Definite gosssebump rendition! Take it on the road men....

[@kevinn4388]

Very Andrew Gold'esque'. Excellent cover.

[@bytornsnowdog2112]

Great song with great memories! Thanks guys! 1977 was an exciting time for young kid.

[@mickpowell8391]

Really outstanding cover of a truly brilliant song...always been one of my favorites! You guys got every detail to perfect.....well done.

[@HermeticDan]

Absolutely AMAZING rendition of one of my all time favourite 70's song! And TJAISIS, the phrasing of the vocals are so spot on...WOW!

Nice. Thank you, fellas.

[@thesoundgod5942]

JR, I never knew how you sound like the amazing tenor of Andrew! You should be incredibly proud! I can definitely appreciate it, being a fan of his Linda days, and Bryndle was amazing!

[@larry2447]

I was in highschool when this hit the charts. You fella's straight up, NAILED IT. Well done👍

Very cool chord progression, could be a good example for a music theory class.

Great song. Fab-u-lous rendition. Great post.

What a stellar remake! I've been a fan of this song since I was a kid, and this was amazing.

That guitar solo...👀 🔥

Thanks, Brad! 😊

[@bradbeam3767]

@@JRMcNeelyMusic you're welcome. I didnt mean to be partial to the lead guitarist, everyone did an excellent job. I always loved the song and am a lifelong musician ( guitar player) so it definitely caught my attention as that guitar solo/jam section was always a stunning part of the song. Very nicely done by everyone. Cheer's and continued success...✌🤘

[@JRMcNeelyMusic]

@@bradbeam3767 Well again, thank you! (I am the one who played the lead guitar...with a towel on my head. LOL!! ;)

[@bradbeam3767]

@@JRMcNeelyMusic Haha, right-on man'..😄 It wasnt lost on me that you guys all seemed to be having a bit of fun while performing the song. Might I add that I really liked how precisely you kept the most important notes of the solo in place so it sounded near perfect ( recognizable) but actually added a couple of much nicer runs and even what sounded like a slight/quasi pedal-tone blues lick towards the end. I actually like your version better than the original. Very tasty...👍 Keep havin' fun bro... Cheer's from Florida..😎

[@jefferyrichardson1348]

My respect to Andrew he had the right stuff. Look up talent in dictionary an his name is there im sure. REST IN HEAVENLY PEACE ANDREW GOLD an thanks for sharing your talent with us. By the way you guys did a good job.

4:33 Chris Cooke - Funny thing is, when I hear that, my mind goes into a Leslie West riff and I start singing "Mississippi Queen." I guess that shows my age! ;-)

[@toys2work]

That just sounded incredible and the video was so funny! But my ears must be going bad on me as ive hit 60...because i swear that this performance sounded just like how i remembered it the first time i heard it on the radio, 40 or whatever years ago! ...how time flies'

Guys this is GREAT!!!!!

This song is radio ready. Well done.

Good job.... I like the guy with the Hat on backwards hes like a human metronome . I hope I spelled that right

[@davidketels3717]

What an absolutely brilliant rendition of quite a brilliant song. You captured the heart of soul of Andrew’s song. He would be smiling down on you guys.

[@tamdsms]

Well done❣ That song is still as fresh & musically relevant as when it was first released in March, 1977 - 46yrs. ago❣ Kind regards❣

[@EDOGG62]

Very nice job on a song that once you dive into it, isn't quite so easy to cover. Would've preferred Waddy Wachtel's (extended) solo, but that was cool too. One of my favorite tunes ever, and after 40 years of playing in bands, I still haven't had a chance to cover. Sigh. Running out of time...

[@lifeisbetterwithbacon]

I don't use this word lightly or frequently but EPIC! Well maybe frequently. Still epic regardless.

[@jimschrader9507]

well done.

[@miscellanyman263]

Perfect cover -- brought to mind my boyhood days throughout the mid-1970s, growing up in "sunny" Los Angeles, California. Thanks, you guys!

[@jimmysaviano4950]

This is so fucking rich every instrument is perfectly arranged the piano player is doing such wonderful inversions the guitar player is so in the groove with the wah- he is massaging that- And all of the instrumental parts are just wonderful… You guys add quite a bit to it while keeping every bit of the essence of the original excellent excellent excellent made my night

[@Astimoff]

Been working on this song for awhile - it is a masterpiece! Great version guys! "Magic Room Studios" (your video is hysterical good!)

Great cover of a great song. I was about to turn off the video, it was unwatchable because of the ridiculous masks, but about 40 seconds in I see they were gone.

[@lseger62]

Masks while isolated? Really? Great version though.

[@JRMcNeelyMusic]

🙄 I've explained this before, and apparently it's time to explain it again.We started to record and film this stuff BEFORE masks were even a thing. We wore them as a joke! It was never meant as a political statement, or an an endorsement of masks or whatever. At the time it was literally..."Hey, we should be silly, and wear surgical masks, and pajamas!" Nothing more.

[@cjheaford]

Lead guitar is better than the original.

[@keithmanning5279]

With masks on. More sheeple

[@JRMcNeelyMusic]

For the record, we made this video at the very beginning of the pandemic BEFORE masks were even a thing! We wore them as a joke! Had absolutely ZERO to do with anything political or whatever. But, hey…thanks for assuming the worst.
