Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) - Eurythmics cover feat. Reina del Cid and Josh Turner

I've been wanting to do this tune for awhile, and it was really fun putting this all together on guitars. This is one of those songs that you hear and instantly recognize within just a few notes because the synth lines are so iconic, not to even mention how perfect Annie Lennox's vocal delivery is. Huge thanks to Reina and Josh for lending their talents on this one and making it happen! Massive appreciation for Kelly Oden lending her video shooting skills, too, and getting this to look so good with just the one take.

[@jltsoyowdycjltsoyowdyc1076]

Toni is more or less a phenom. She is an amazing guitarist, not necessarily in the ways many people might compare, in other words, she is not Jimi Hendrix, or Joe Satriani or Steve Vai on their best days, for the old folks, or Billy Strings or Kingfish or even Molly Tuttle today. All of whom I absolutely love 100%. But Toni is special because she gets in the pocket like a little mouse in a pocket, and huddles up in there, and just grooves, you feel it deeply. It is a very special, and unique talent. I’m am so, so glad this group found each other. They are todays virtuosos. Pop music will always capture the attention of the masses, but this gang is special. And Toni, is an artist! If they all come to my neck of the woods, I am going to spend all the money, to go to their show.

[@johnmclaughlin763]

Seriously, I’ve played and sang just about everything in my 58 years. Many of these songs weee big in my youth. And yet, for the first time in my life, something has changed. Rather than the cover making me want to listen to the original, the originals make me want to get on KZbin and watch these covers. It’s an upside down world thanks to this little cadre of eccentric rebels.

[@jeffreywillis4258]

Old rocker here, been playing seriously since I was in grade school and over 60 now. For the first time in my life, something has changed too. No matter what, I'd never say a cover was better than the original; how could it be when one is a copy. So, Josh covered "Still Crazy" by Simon and I thought damn I'm gonna go listen to the original version. And....I liked Joshes more. The original seemed over orchestrated. Joshes guitar composition of that song is genus.

[@kenwalker2868]

CAN SHE PICK??? Wow, she can pick!!!! I find it difficult to strum whole I'm trying to sing and she is playing lead while she sings.

Perfect. And the great ´human’ harmony between the 3 ( and all the ones involved around the Reina Del Cid projects) is amazing: we all know the great talents of Reina, Toni, Josh and the others, each of them is a kind of virtuoso, but when they play together it is only about doing the best music and never about egos.

[@davidmarshall8166]

I've played for 40 years and she's one of the best I've heard. She's an excellent lead player, particularly when you hear her play on some of their original stuff.

This performance is great, as others have said in the comments already.

The fact that Toni can play well on several instruments is not lost on me either, but the vocals can sound so lovely together!
