[@brendaeisler553]

It makes me very happy to see that so many others, like myself, wanted to be sure that the great Scott Boyer (RIP) received proper credit for writing this song. Nice cover.

[@livingadreamlife1428]

Good vocals on your cover. Original song was Recorded in 1971 with Duane Allman on slide guitar in Muscle Shoals, Ala., only one month before his death in a motorcycle accident.

[@williamboyer3122]

Good vocals. This was written by Scott Boyer and Tommy Talton.

[@cavdragoon]

All respect to Mr Clapton and his version of this great song, but credit where credit is due this is not his song. This was a song recorded by Cowboy (written by Scott Boyer). Duane Allman played slide on their version and this seems to be closer to what your performing here. All that aside I must say you have done a fantastic job on this, capturing the true essence of the song. Thanks for posting.

[@jeffgaumond4250]

Scott Boyer wrote this song. He is best known for the band Cowboy (with his bud Tommy Talton). Duane played it on their album. His version on his "Anthology" album is said to be the best. (His slide work is pretty stellar) Cowboy and the Allman Bros. were joined at the hip, especially in the early days. Boyer played with the Allmans in a band called "The 14th of September ". They were also intertwined with a band called "Delaney, Bonnie and Friends". (Clapton played with them on one summer tour). This is a very nice job, you two. It holds up very well.

I've watched this video sbout 30 times now since Saturday when I stumbled upon it. And I bloody love it!!!

[@alvesmartins8178]

great cover, I remenber many years ago to play this song with my cousin Paulo Pessoa a genious on the Guitar that died in misery as a rolling stone-- he refused the helping hearts, I triewd to find him but he desapeared, he hides like a shadow. Lord God have mercy on him he was a classic musician and not only, from the top, not from business.

I don't think human beings could look any more beautiful as when they are singing/making music that truly means something to them. It makes their listeners soul stir when its done right. peace to all the gypsies and lovers

[@revup67]

it's most admirable that both of you would select this gem to cover. commendable rendition and thanks for properly crediting Scott Boyer and Tommy Talton, Cowboy one of the greatest southern country bands ever Cowboy..5'll Getcha Ten

[@sleadie59]

I do believe Tommy Talton & Scott Boyer wrote this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@MAIRTIN28]

I'm a massive Clapton fan and this is a different composition, but what a great version. I love the sound expecially as to think it is done outside. Beautiful voice this guy has and the girl complements him lovely. Love it.

[@codyzsherman]

Awesome! that song was actually written by Scott Boyer from the band Cowboy... I love that song.

[@stkbkr1]

Dude, you have a great voice and just a perfect guitar player. Rock on!!!

[@ericlecorgne4627]

Very nice and a very personal interpretation, thank you. For me, a bit like Clapton and Bert Jansch jamming together. Very delicate and well-placed back vocals. Cheers.

[@adamnyman7973]

So beautiful! You truly made the song justice, the simplicity, and everything, just perfect!

[@topixfromthetropix1674]

I like what you got with guitar tone and like your chops. Used to work for a sound company and ran into several of the Cowboy guys often when we went to Mobile with Wet Willie. Great material, Scott's song. Be well.

[@dolfzeevogel3820]

Well done guys. Realy well. I like the lead voice. Backing vocals also very nice. Guess someone allready mentoined that it's a Cowboy song. But no problem.

[@suniloberoi7852]

Masterfully playing on guitar and very good singing.Liked and impressed.From India.

[@CharlesMcCulloughMusic]

Wonderful job on a song that has resonated with me ever since I first heard it over 40 years ago.

[@glh1956]

Really nice cover, perfect interpretation, touches of the original with your own stamp on it, great stuff, enjoy listening to it very much

[@adairsalad]

Very impressive. Very nice cover and enjoy your voice and guitar playing!

[@JimDorman]

About twenty years ago a coworker turned me on to Cowboy and their story now my friend's son plays in one (Randall Bramblett) of the original member's bands and has frequently played with ChuckLeavell and Tommy Talton. I wish I still knew that guy. RIP Scott Boyer.

[@jeffgaumond4250]

Of course Bonnie Brambett was the stellar female voice of Bonnie, Delanie and Friends. Clapton toured with them one summer. Randall had a long association with Cowboy.

[@billbruedigam]

I LOVE IT!!! I have always loved this song since I first heard it on Duane Allman's Anthology back in the early 70s. You two are perfect! I have listened to this now about 10 times straight, and love it more each time I hear it. Beautiful job!!!

[@JimDorman]

Nice job! Actually, this is a song by the group Cowboy, written by Scott Boyer of the same group. Duane Allman played on it and Eric recorded it later - pretty much the same tempo as Cowboy. I think he did it as a tribute to Duane. But, more people might know it by Clapton.

[@timhoovermusicman]

I don't know it by anyone till now. Beautiful song.

[@saivarnos]

Thank you for showing your take on this great song, I am the type who only learns songs that I am passionate about and so my song list is very short. I only just heard this song today for the first time and am learning it right now! I will be learning your version of it. If I post a video of my take I will definitely share it with you.

[@wonderworldguy]

previous comments are true, but ec and you pair gave it the wings it deserved.

[@DanCam97]

excellent work very impressive -jealous aspiring guitarist

[@steveschwartz1121]

Sad that so few are aware of the brilliance of Boyer and Talton and that wonderful "5'll Get You 10" album. This is not a bad cover but its shocking that he gives credit to Clapton for the song!

[@tomconley4976]

Brings back memories of playing Risk, hiitng the bong and listening to great music including Cowboy albums. There was always a sing along when "Pick Your Nose" was cued up.

[@MJ-wrty]

Yup...happens a lot. Eric Clapton isn't responsible for cocaine JJ Cale is. A lot of people don't know that.

[@jeffgaumond4250]

Great work, great song. As for the credit hey, you can't blame Clapton for everything!! I'd completely forgotten this little gem until now. I do it in C capoed on the second fret, exactly the same with but bit of a fuller sound. Don't have your lovely backup, though!

[@TheBennie102103]

very nice job, vocals and guitar

[@dougthomasmusic]

What a beautiful harmonizing voice goose has. Beautifully sung by both of you. This song is a humble and endearing call for rescue from heartbreak. My own opinion would be to ease back on the hammering of notes on the guitar. It’s not a competition between the guitar and vocals. Keep it smooth, clean and tender. Best wishes.

[@roger221b]

Absolutely wonderful..

[@intrepiddreams9282]

Fantastic cover!

[@stevepawlowski854]

[@ShunyamNiketana]

This is a very fine cover, both in the instrumentation and the voice (not to mention the rattle and harmony). The guitar riff calls to mind one in The Needle and the Damage Done, by Neil Young (not certain that is the title, however).

Nicely done. Would love to hear her voice in front of the guitar more.

The Eagles broke up with George Martin over close miking, I know those are high dollar studio mikes in front of them but placement is curious. The bite he has on the guitar makes me suspect direct line or mikes amp somewhere. I agree totally with your comment, you have an ear!

I watch A LOT of music videos on youTube, and I've gotta say this is one of the best I've seen in a long time. Your guitar playing was flawless, and you both have beautiful voices. I only wish the harmonies were a little louder. Goose has a incredible voice, but she was a little hard to hear. (Not a complaint... Just a request...) A++++++++ I loved it!

Although Eric Clapton didn't write this song originally he has been given alot of credit for his rendition. Very good version though! :)

I hate to pile on, because y'all do a nice non-traditional version, meaning not quite right, but do a little homework on the Google - Scott Boyer and Duane Allman!

[@thejunebugsmusic]

Brian Hastings People do some rather persnickity about it. Thanks for the kind words.

[@dollydagger7502]

Brian Hastings people get worked up, I think, because this was not only one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever recorded including Duane Allman, but also the last studio recording he cut before passing.

[@stephboeker7835]

Different perspective in line w/ Duane's : He grew up watching all the original black artists (Muddy Waters, T-bone Walker, Robert Johnson, Elmore James, etc...) get zero credit for songs that cover artists made big fame & money on. Many English groups including Eric Clapton were guilty of this. That's why Duane made a point of crediting, by name, the original artists "before" covering their songs. It's a sign of respect !! Humility !! Humble respect !! If you would stand on the shoulders of giants, only the foolish would weaken the foundations they stand on. If you don't care about truth and accuracy then you deserve to be called out !! Just sayin' P.S. nice cover though :) (good voice, harmony and percussion section)

[@kenperk9854]

@@thejunebugsmusic But if you are going to give credit (which you did) you SHOULD make sure you give the credit to whom it belongs.I became friends with Scott during the last couple of years of his life. He was a fine man and deserves the credit for his work and talent.

[@timmyolmstead]

I puked in my mouth when I saw (Eric Clapton). Please, please, please fix your title. It was written by Scott Boyer of Cowboy and recorded with Duane Allman. EC's 461 Ocean Blvd version was a slowed down cover that only served to demonstrate how great Duane really was. ( R.I.P. ) And if you record and upload "I Shot the Sheriff," please... :)

[@aarfeld]

And Scott Boyer passed away just this past Tuesday, Feb. 13th, aged 70. Out of respect for his memory please fix the heading.
