Everybody Wants to Rule the World | Tears for Fears | funk cover ft. Cory Henry

Didn't realize this was 7 minutes long until it was over. Louis Cato with the FEEL!!

[@odaneeubank697]

So true

[@Benisuber1]

The drums coming in was incredible.

[@nico.m8346]

He sure warmed up as the song went along.

[@Alk333_fan]

That’s Louis Cato. He was with Snarky Puppy for a bit, and puts out some great insta content.

[@ThePoodleStrudel]

Louis Cato - also the guitarist for Late Show with Stephen Colbert (Jean Batiste and Stay Human band). These people are so talented!

[@dpalma86]

What snare is that?

[@aidanschram9652]

Louis Cato can basically play any instrument and sing, too much talent 🥵🥵

[@joshjones9749]

Cory's singing voice has improved. Lots more control.

[@Mark-tm8fi]

Bro that bass player is one of the most solid players ive seen. every note he plays is so juicy, and he plays exactly what the song needs. love it!

[@thehighams]

Agreed, he's doing all that magic on a Squire Bass VI too, no thoughts, just vibes.

[@tedsmart5539]

Soloman has got the phat slaps!

[@bepitan]

@@thehighams seems too low for a baritone...is it going through an octaver?

I’ve never seen anyone use a Bass VI to actually play bass, that’s sick as hell

[@gbkiet]

@@bepitan its a six string bass that is 30 something inch scale and looks like a jazzmaster type electric :) big props to bassist for actually rocking that thing

[@bnjmnwst]

Cory is a keyboard beast. Everybody knows that. This man can sing! He's a better singer than a lot of artists with hit songs. Big names, I'm talking about. Get this man an album of pop songs to "Cory-fy." STAT!

[@bisratezra8247]

Coryfy! Yes!

[@kathybramley5609]

He should be at least as well known as Ed Sheeran!! Or Jacob Collier, not sure if he is!? But that pressure is a bit ... another thing, being a *big star* compared to a slightly underrated genius phenomenon whom musicians admire and want to play with! The latter cosy niche is probably much more inherently rewarding.

Y'all got Cory Henry?!?! So stoked for y'all!

[@TylerBrainerd]

I actually asked him about this when I saw him in 2019. He said he was trying to get schedules worked out with Scary Pockets, so glad it finally happened. BTW the other thing I asked about was a Cory Henry/Vulpeck tour, which he is also into... someday.

No surprises. I was excited to see the organ. And then at around 2:20, this just exploded in an unexpected direction. So good. Lean but tight drums, cool bass cooking along, enough rhythm guitar to fill it in and that organ setting the world on fire. BAM!
