Check out my latest cover tune with my friend Bonnie on vox.
Letsee, guitars are recorded as I always do strat->vox tonelab->mackie->computer/Sonar. I think the main guit was N+M and the lead was MxB, the 2nd half rhythm was B, all thru 'plexi' model.
Vox: Bonnie B. Miller, Guitars & Bass JFrankParnell, aka Doug Cassidy, Drums are Sonar Session Drummer.
We used Eva Cassidy's (no known relation to Doug) version as a starting point, and rocked it out from there.
The falling leaves drift by my window
The falling leaves of red and gold
I see your lips, the summer kisses
The sunburned hands I used to hold
Since you went away the days grow long
And soon I'll hear old winter's song
But I miss you most of all, my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall
Autumn Leaves -1945 French song "Les feuilles mortes" (literally "The Dead Leaves") music: Joseph Kosma, lyrics:Jacques Prévert. Johnny Mercer wrote English lyrics in 1947

Well, considering this is the way I remember this song...
...you took it into a direction I never would have thought of. And I can see where you started with Eva Cassidy rendition, but you definitely put your own take on it.
So you get my vote for following the first rule of a cover song...Take it in another direction, or book yourself a gig at the Holiday Inn...
And Bonnie has a nice set of pipes on her.
All in all, a solid +1 is on order.
Thanks for sharing this one.

I agree with everything cynical1 said except last time I heard this song was from Eric Claptons latest album. Compared to Claps version this is more into the rock direction for sure. I like it.

BTW, your cover of "Buenos Tardes Amigo" was better then the original, IMHO... Much darker and not laughable like Ween's version.
And "Over The Top" just smoked.
Just thought I'd mention that while I was here...
