I was searching for an acoustic version of this great song when I found your channel.Your version is the best I've ever heard, great soulful playing and feel. I'm a new subscriber! Greetings from Sweden

[@JamesDeanAcoustic]

Your taking the time to share the kind words is much appreciated. Thank You!

[@LiveLoopers]

It takes a minute to get to but the bass feels really good in this. The horn is super sweet too.

[@JamesDeanAcoustic]

Thanks for listening and taking the time to comment!

[@LiveLoopers]

T'was a pleasure.

[@gigmanirl]

I Love the tension in the build up of your versions and then the relief of the whole tune flowing. The sax synth was a welcome surprise. So pleasant to see and hear such a creative talent.
