This song reminds me to slow down and take notice to the world around me and cherish the good things.

[@donaldwong909]

beautiful and perfect cover of lynyrd skynyrd

[@guitarsonstage]

Nice cover of this song River, I really enjoy Shinedown's cover of this as well, classic song, thanks for sharing.

[@pettyeddie2000]

I “collect” great covers of SIMPLE MAN and you sir made the playlist. Very nicely done !!

[@rivercrombie]

Thanks! Happy to be included! Cheers :)

[@COYD-s4f]

Who else is in there ?

[@worldsigh1788]

This is a simple kind of lovely! Thank you for making the world a more beautiful place.

[@clake791]

I always thought shinedown's acoustic cover was the best out there but this one is a close second. Your version is great man, like you were born to play it

[@JK-px2im]

My thoughts exactly.

[@RossDawson-s6h]

It’s not often that I have covers on my playlist over the original but this man’s voice never mind guitar skills are so spot on.

[@timothyhaller419]

I traveled with local talent, always thriving to be better. Many of nights around a campfire with friends. Pure talent and no auto tune. Sounding good river.

[@Yosoydelafacio]

Great performance, thank you River Crombie for your interpretation of such a beautiful song by Lynyrd Skynyrd: Simple Man. Great Voice, great acoustic guitar playing and I will recommend it to all my friends.

[@rivercrombie]

Thank you, my friend! I appreciate it :)

[@Rapter57]

Magnificent! I love that you managed to incorporate the lead section into the composition, and you’ve got one hell of a voice, too!

[@bwahl85]

Beautifully done, this is what a cover should be. Certain subtle differences that separate it from the original, but enough of the core to be unmistakable. Well done good sir!

[@KevinSmith-mh5oq]

So well stated dude. He’s quite a talent!

[@ADoc1980]

Your voice was made for this song. Well done.

[@timquinn9036]

A MANS BEAUTIFUL SOUL CAME OUT OF THEM SPEAKERS FOR SURE ABSOLUTELY 💯 AMAZING 🎵

[@johnnydepp5351]

I'd love to sit around a campfire and listen to River play💯

[@joevil6259]

I always click on anything Simple Man related since it is one of my favorite songs. This is an excellent acoustic rendition as far as I'm concerned. A time-less song in my book.

[@mikehuang6419]

To me, this is the best version outside of the band!

[@nirvana613]

Such a deep and meaningful song that comes right from the heart !

[@virtualvoice9]

I am a simple man form Pakistan! you have good voice. thanks for the upload.

you make lynyrd skynyrd proud mate... ❤

[@mittenthaleric]

My father and I loved and sang this song together. I haven’t listened to it for 5 years on November 6th. I walked out of his funeral when it played. It was too much. I just listened to this all the way thru…

[@emperorriehl3537]

I am so sorry for your loss.. I too had to bury my father when i was just 22., Dad passed away nearly 30 years ago.

[@danielhayes735]

My condolences, reminds me of my close uncle at his funeral as well. My father still can’t listen to it

[@davidblack1923]

Oh man... usually I don't like covers but that one hit hard, especially that fine distortion in your voice when you sing high

[@edackman-zm6yl]

GREAT version . Solid vocal , with sweet guitar work .

[@Chris-ym4gv]

🙏 Thank you for sharing your performance with all of us 🙏 ❤

[@Johnastro8]

This is the best sounding Maton guitar I've ever heard on you tube.

[@tylerhurd9569]

It sounds great with those new strings for sure

[@steffev8541]

@@tylerhurd9569 not sure they are new. seems to me they are perfectly old

[@psychotic-artsstudio2729]

Wow you blew that one out of the park! This one works perfect with your voice as well,and keeping in that perfect guitar grove,will have to rewatch this one again someday.

[@bjarnij3782]

The touch you put on every one of these classics is just amazing, love your playing, this one was really a treat. And phenominal voice as usual.

[@rivercrombie]

Thank you very much!

[@nagamsidabutar2834]

this is not a simple song. this is a master piece

[@LetArtsLive]

I chose this song for my son. I was scared play in the video all the pros music was blowing all over and he helped them he was my helper😢😢😢 there's nothing more painful ever ever then losing a child.. other than they buried him without me😢😢😢😢😢 some people will burn in hell

[@Antonio-p1b]

​@@LetArtsLive​You lost your son? That's horrible. I feel for ya man. I can't imagine. Great cover. Great guitar playing and singing.

[@LetArtsLive]

@@Antonio-p1b I don't know how to get over it yet it was 2022

[@LetArtsLive]

@@Antonio-p1b ❤️

[@Antonio-p1b]

@@LetArtsLive Don't try to get over it. Go through the grief. It will slowly get less and less. It's pretty much the worst loss anyone can experience in life and it's recent. Just keep putting one foot in front of the other and take it a day at a time. When you need to cry about it let yourself cry. Don't hold that stuff in or it will destroy you. Hopefully you've got friends or family that are there for you too. Seeing a grief counselor can be a good idea too. Everything helps a little bit. And keep playing that guitar. Sorry for your loss. This life hammers us all in one way or another. No one escapes it.

[@tompatrick5542]

An untouchable rendition. Your vocals were also very well done. I love the way you kept the song its own but also put your own touch in it. I'm very glad I watched and listened to your video today, thank you for sharing with us. I'll be looking at more of your music.
