One Good Reason - Bob Mould (cover)

My finger-picking acoustic version of One Good Reason from Bob Mould's second album Black Sheets Of Rain. This was probably the very first Bob Mould song I listened to and I was blown away. Not too fond of the album, though.
I have been toying with this acoustic version for a few months and it took me a while to make it work. I wanted to make it sound like a Richard Thompson song. I am not sure I got that but I am happy with it anyway.

Really nice cover. I'm a huge Bob mould fan and this is also my favourite song on black sheets. Love the lyrics in particular, great interpretation.

+Kieran Dey Thanks mate. The lyrics, Bob writes great break-up songs - check Beaster. This is not exactly a break-up song but it's getting there :) Yes, great lyrics.

Excellent cover/interpretation! My first Bob Mould show was in 1990 (Black Sheets of Rain Tour). Heard this live and was teleported straight into another dimension.

Thanks mate. I'd love to hear a live version of this.

[@kierandey1233]

Yeah his songs are so full of angst, and heartache. Thumbtack would be a nice one to do or Changes from Copper Blue. Love your version of Celebrated Summer and Chartered Trips btw.

+Kieran Dey Thanks again. I would like to try It's Not Peculiar from Warehouse.

João, meu amigo. Really lovely stuff and so glad to see you after so long, how you doing, mate?

[@AnotherBadSpeech]

Levin Mulder Hi Levin, good to hear from you mate. I know I've been off for some time but my elbow problem has kept me away from the guitar more often than not. I am starting to believe it's chronic so I will just have to deal with it the best I can. On the positive side I feel like I've done my job with the Harper stuff so that it's there for everybody. I still had (or have) some plans on Roy but mostly regarding rework of some videos and maybe a few new ones and some more ambitious stuff with the big tunes, so you never know. But I am sure that whenever possible I will work out something new. So please stay tuned. Cheers amigo!

Great cover and interpretation - beautiful finger picking.

Thank you so much.

Brilliant. What tuning is it?

[@AnotherBadSpeech]

Midas White Thank you. I am using drop-D tuning (just tune the low E down to D).
