    Excellent version Colin. I've also heard your interpretations of Wichita Lineman and Waterloo Sunset too. I am definitely going to be buying your album.

    Stevie Winwood did a lovely acoustic fireside version of this song from his fireside at home during lockdown I think,sheer brilliance and until listening to Colin sing it just now realised how similar his voice is to Stevie

      It sounds like the Winwood version may have dropped down a notch too. I had them both playing at once. It sounded like a great duet.

      I love the fire "pop" in the middle of the song. It is a beautiful version. Peace.

    Dear Colin, I love listening to you sing, and I hope you will come to play an acoustic performance for us here in Israel. I have been looking for that personal element that makes me feel like i am involved in the music and finally have discovered you. This is just the flavor i need. So keep travelling, we need to hear you

    A great song originally now covered again by a great artist. Saw Clapton live at the Albert Hall a few years back with Nathan East on bass and vocals. Just blew me away.

    I heard Blind Faith live at The Baltimore Civic Center - great show! If I remember correctly, Delaney & Bonnie opened with Dave Mason on bass. Btw, It's SO cool, Colin, that you were open to taking this great classic down to C. Your wonderful tenor voice, rangy though it is, sounds wider & richer. What a lovely job you've done with it. I like that you stressed the word talented when you referenced Steve Winwood, because his striking voice too often, in reviews and mentions, generally, eclipses his soulful keyboard work and surprising skills on guitar. i say surprising, because he traded guitar licks with Clapton during that show and stoutly held his own! Wow!

    That gives me morale as a singer Colin. Because your chest voice is my favorite of all time for any pop singer. To this day your old hits move me like so few upbeat pop songs do - Maybe McDonald on “What A Fool Believes” but it’s a short list.
    I struggle with keys too. All I’ve got is falsetto sometimes, funny how it all works out with whatever we’re given. It sounds fantastic on C and I like your Wichita chords over Glen Campbells.

Finally thought I can understand the first few words of this song from your crisp clear lyrics. Thanks! ,peace and love to you. I am a huge fan of your own songs overkill and be good Jonny are a couple of my favourites. Good stuff!

    Winwood has a great recent solo version of this. He also drops it to C.

  • @markmartin3221
    @markmartin3221 Před 2 lety

    A wise man heeds to corrective instructions, congrats Colin. I played the frontman on “house of the rising sun” “knocking on Heaven’s door” and everyone said “Wow, he’s got a gift!” Then I sung “Forever man” and they said, “well, you can’t win them all” “C” works well for you and was well done 👍

    Hey Colin. Great rendition of this great song. I’m a relatively new guitarist so please excuse this elementary question but how do you tune the guitar to “C”?

    Sounded awesome.

  • @TonyBurke100
    @TonyBurke100 Před 2 lety +1

    That F was a bastard, took me ages to barre those two strings. I'm 69 and have been playing electric for way too long as my daughter commandeered my Ibanez AW-50 about ten years ago and we know how lazy that makes our fingers. Just bought an Epiphone Hummingbird with 12s on it and it took a couple of weeks to toughen up my left hand and harden my callouses. The first acoustic song I've relearned is "Can't Find My Way Home" which is in dropped D tuning.

    Have to agree, without criticism, using the key of C fits your vocal range much better! It sounds more relaxed to me too.

  • @SkitzerPoindexter
    @SkitzerPoindexter Před 2 lety +1

    I've always loved Can't Find My Way Home, but the studio version always sounded muddy or something to me. I heard a good cover once from a contestant on The Voice, but his version was too clean and maybe a little overproduced.
    Never in a million years would I have guessed that Colin Hay would provide me a version that really is what I'd always hoped for.
    I honestly got a little emotional when I heard it.
