No Rain | Blind Melon | Acoustic Cover

[@matthewbunker1007]

My all time favorite band- Blind Melon. Shannon’s voice captivated me from the very split second I heard his first note in no rain and I’ve been a neon head ever since. Shannon’s death still hurts my soul. You, my friend, have brought back those soul gripping feelings I had way back in 93, thank you 🙏

[@trent.langley]

What a beautiful rendition of this timeless classic. Blind Melon fam unite!

[@Whitman1819]

Yeah I agree...nice job.

[@Yorkie285]

It was an honor and pleasure listening to you.

[@sniffableandirresistble]

Must have been 1993 I took the train from.San Francisco down to San Jose to see Blind Melon open for Lenny Kravitz and it was so cool I remember getting off the train and first thing I see in the station is magazine rack was the new Rolling Stone with Blind Melon on the cover felt so auspicious.The show was incredible because they all had such incredible warmth in their eyes, zero dickhead guy energy, even the bass player looked at me in the front row and smiled in the most genuine way imaginable. It was all so authentic and the music flawless and uplifting ✨️

[@rivercrombie]

Cool story and experience! Thanks for sharing :)

[@Dwightaroundyolips]

Very cool

[@guitarmanblues]

What a wonderful version my friend!. I love how you are able to capture, in each cover song you do, that characteristic personal stamp that you have. You do an exceptional job of transforming other artists' songs into a personal, intimate version, without the need to add multiple instruments, flashy audiovisual effects, and various extravagance. Only you and your guitar, you are capable of transmitting so much and more with your own versions. Once again, thank you for this new gem and I hope you continue to maintain this same distinctive character in your interpretations for a long time to come.

[@rivercrombie]

Thank you, brother! I always appreciate your kind words. Cheers!

I close my eyes and hear Paul Simon in your voice 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@dashvarns2824]

You are on the mark with that! As soon as I saw your comment it peaked my interest wondering if he really does sound like Paul Simon and it definitely did not disappoint

[@strange5253]

Yes, I’m pretty sure I commented the same thing recently 👌🏼

[@davebelt3674]

What I love most about your covers is they seem so perfect for your range and abilities. Nothing looks or feels strained. Well done sir!

[@rivercrombie]

Thank you, my friend!

[@darrenwood3427]

Hello from the UK. Blind Melon the best. Fantastic rendition.

[@gibson2623]

Really? A what? LoL

[@lukeduke3738]

Awesome, such a great song taking me back to the 90’s.

[@Drewmeister]

One of your best yet

[@rivercrombie]

Thank you, my friend!

[@TJfossil]

Awesome! Just what I needed to hear today. Thanks River!

[@imspartacvs]

Great job Thanks for sharing the music.

[@dominoscr]

I love the delicate playing in this cover. You can tell there was a lot of thought and effort into making it and for me it made me consider the song in a new way. I used to think it was a cynical take, but this makes me think the original may have been more sincere. Either way this take was and it makes it a way more fun thing to listen to. :)

[@deanlewis4536]

You, my friend, can nail any cover....class act, keep them classics coming 👌

[@rivercrombie]

Thank you! Much appreciated!

[@cats_ARE_better_than_you]

[@mtmustski]

This was so incredible and inspiring. Thank you for sharing this version!

[@rivercrombie]

Thank you for the nice comment! Cheers.

[@xzantar7927]

Covers are tricky, and you really nailed this. I prefer your version over the original, actually. The subdued intro makes it so much more relatable, and your voice gives it some grunge, which is appropriate for the era it was written. It would be cool to have this one on Spotify.

[@rivercrombie]

Thank you for the sharing! I really appreciate it :)

[@amonterangiwhetutahau9228]

Voice like honey, great guitar work too.

[@rivercrombie]

Thank you! I appreciate the kind words! 🙏

[@ShawnSchulz]

Your interstate love song cover showed up in my feed and I was immediately impressed, decided to check out this one since covering a Blind Melon song is nearly impossible - his voice was just so unique. Then I decided to see if you had anything on Spotify. Opened Spotify and funny thing was the last time I had opened it on my computer I was listening to the album Nico by Blind Melon. Anyway, your album on Spotify is absolutely amazing. It would fit in with any of the greatest 60s folk/singer songwriters. I hope you release more original albums.

[@rivercrombie]

Many thanks! I appreciate the kind words, my friend! And thanks for checking out the album on Spotify :)
