Red Red Wine- Neil Diamond (UB40 version) cover by Catherine McCrystal
My brother sent me a meme this week saying something like 'If you remember when this song was released, U B 40ish now.'
So this is how my brain works- I had to cover the song 😆

Sometimes you just look at the state of things and stick your two fingers up at the world, or moreso those 'in charge'. Was feeling that this morning when this song poured out. It's far from the finished product I reckon but I'll keep playing around with it. Enjoy it in its infant state Lyrics and music Copyright © Catherine McCrystal January 2025

The Devil Crept In/The Ballad of Billy McGrew- RobinRendell/TonyRidgway cover by Catherine McCrystal
Просмотров 42821 день назад
Where do I even begin? The honour I feel being allowed to cover this song by Robin Rendell. This one spoke to me because I'm fond of the melancholy and love a good murder ballad (not really sure what that says about me) so I asked Robin if I could give it a go. Hope I've done it justice. This version heavily inspired by Tony Ridgway's recording, which you should also check out! The words are Ro...

@@elizabethandrogercourt8055 so funny as I was planning to do another recording of this one! I feel like there are a few phrasing mistakes 😁 Thank you for your comment- I love this song
Hank! 🎶🤠

Welcome to the channel! Thanks so much for your lovely words 😊
This is really great, lyrics and vocals- it really highlights what a great voice you have. Well done.
@@harrietbarbir8579 thanks! ❤️
Great video man you really showed so much love to Bubblegum. This vid is all you really need on it and then some.
@@marko3270 thanks- Lanegan was something else
Catherine, this is such a beautiful original. Your lyrics are heartfelt, and you vocals are so lovely.
Appreciate you saying so 😊
Dang it--I thought I had commented on this song already. Very much enjoyed the lyrics. Your singing here is beautiful--the haunting breaks into falsetto really show what you are capable of. Fine, fine work!
@@TomPennerMusic thank you Tom! Singing more now than I ever have so the oul voice is improving ❤️
@catherinemccrystal9391 that's awesome!
Catherine, this is an excellent rendition. I love your vocals, and I look forward to listening to your music.
@@joedewberry great to have you here and thanks so much for your lovely comment 😊
This music harkens to all the wonderful country tunes I grew up with that are fused to my very musical soul. There's nothing that can be said about the lyrics that any thoughtful mind hearing or reading them wouldn't perceive better that way. I will only say they are incredible, and I believe every word you sing. Great choice for your upcoming live performance! 🤗🎶
Thanks Johnny 😊
Well done!
@@francescogarbin1984 thank you 😁
Wonderful
Thank you 😊 I love Lisa- I probably cover her stuff more than anyone else's!
Lovely version of a great song
@@casciottisongs thanks, Cas!
This is a beautiful cover of Neil Diamond’s song. I really liked UB40s version too. Yours is very special too. Very well done, Catherine 🎸🎶👏
Thank you, Harriet- you're very kind ❤
Great song
Thank you for stopping by to listen! ❤
@@catherinemccrystal9391 It's my pleasure to listen to original tunes, I thank you for the upload, Cheers
Well done. Appropriate color palette, and a performance full of warmth and depth. Intoxicating!
@@Diecastclassicist ah thanks so much, Michael. The colour palette was a happy coincidence. Glad you like the performance 🥰
❤😊 ub40 didn't know that it was a cover, school day
Me neither til it was pointed out to me! 😊
@catherinemccrystal9391 🥰👍👀🙏
For almost forty years I have listened to this song and jammed it as my anthem to red wine... This is the first time I heard the heart break of this song. I loved it. 💔🍷🎵🎶
Well, you know me, I love to bring the melancholy 😊❤
@catherinemccrystal9391 Great name for an album teehee The Melancholy Magician.... Because you magic ✨
You have a great voice! This was great cover...keep up the great work!
I really appreciate your comment. I'm primarily a singer- the guitar playing is secondary (and mediocre 😂)
@catherinemccrystal9391 you're actually really good. That's one thing I like about your music....your touch to the guitar suits your voice very well! It's that solid foundation that the band adds their parts to, ya know? Keep it up!
Was just over visiting your channel (Subbed now 😊) and can't leave a comment but loved the Mark Lanegan Open Mic performance! He was a huge influence on me as I started out- his music still is 🙌
@@catherinemccrystal9391 He wasn't huge of an influence for me AT FIRST. But...as time went on, somewhere around 97'? 98" I got Whickey... and Winding Sheet? WOW...just...mind BLOWN. I love how he can take 2-3 chords and KEEP IT INTERSTING ANDCHANGING?? can't really do that. But I don't consider myself a singer?? I'd rather be backup singer and rhythm guitarist. Maybe the drummer or bass player?? I don't likebeing out front, but often no one else will do it? So, I end up singing for bands (I don't really like my voie). I did that open mic because I had gone a week or 2 prior? And the guy I went to perform with was DRUNK and tried to KICK the soud guy?? I HAD to go back and basically say "THIS is what SHOULD have happened...that was one of the first ties I hung out with him and I DON'T HANG OUT WITH THAT GUY ANYMORE...have a good night!" :) Sorry for all of this to read...I don't really like small talk Thank you for the compliment, too! :) CGG
@@catherinemccrystal9391 I have a lot of originals under my playlist "Gearedmah" (my one man band, of course)...lots of singes and a couple full albums!! :)
Great lyrics 👍😎 Beautiful song
Cheers, Paul 😊
Excellent version 👍😎
Thanks Paul 🎉
Nice cover ,Well preformed.
@@elizabethandrogercourt8055 thank you
Haha, I have siblings who would send me that as well, and I would likely also feel compelled to cover it! 😂 So exquisitely done - there is feeling in every note you sing! Absolutely beautiful! 🙏🎶
Honestly, it happens so often too. I'll hear a snippet of a song in an ad and it'll go on a loop in my head til I cover it 😂
@catherinemccrystal9391 Love this! 😂
Special treat time, Catherine. I've liked this song for a long, long time. A wonderful Neil Diamond song, written way, way back in 1967. You have given us an exquisite vocal and performance, my good friend; as I said, a special treat. There's a warmth and mellowness in your voice that suits this song perfectly. It's a song that could have been written for you. I don't think I've heard it performed better. Almost forgot to say; I see you've chosen a red, red wine coloured top.😀
Thank you, Robin 😊 I remember my mother singing it when I was young- she had the same gravelly tones as me 😁 And the majority of my wardrobe is autumnal colours so the chances of wearing red red wine was high 🍷 😂
UB chilling - laid back. Great version. UB looping

Hola Catherine. Excelente interpretación, muy bonita voz 👍13 Nuevo amigo suscrito 🔔 Saludos cordiales desde España 🙏🎶🎤🎸
Gracias! Happy you stopped by to listen 😊
Very fine work, Catherine! You get raspy when the song needs raspy, and you hit the high notes when the song want clarity of expression. At times you sound a bit like Kasey Chambers doing "Little Bit Lonesome." ruclips.net/video/zWhgaYqd1UU/видео.html
Thanks Tom! I've not heard her but will check it out ❤
Hearing you sing the words of Mr Cohen so awesomely, Catherine, is a special treat, my good friend.
Thanks Robin, my friend 😊
Catherine this is a fantastic song- I like it so much. 🎸🎶👏
Thank you, Harriet! ❤
Amazing ❤. I love the way you take videos, simple and attractive ❤🎉
@@Aliounemusik thank you for stopping by to listen 😊
Well Composed song ,Music is a great way to let your feelings out,Good or Bad ,Very Truthful Song.Well done.
@@elizabethandrogercourt8055 thank you! Yes, music is therapy 😍
As an autistic person, this one really hits me hard. The world wants me to be an imposter, but masking is exhausting. I wish I could find someone who accepts me for what I am. :(
I hear you ❤
Wow, so many originals - I think your 2025 album should be a double CD - one of originals and one of covers.
Now there's an idea! 😊
It's always hard to come in with a comment after Robin! 😄 Joking aside, this such an excellent tune - I feel seen, as the kids say. Love your original tunes, and how much of your heart is clearly poured into every one! 🎶
Ha! Robin could make songs out of his wonderful comments. Thank you so much- I'm glad you like it 😊
Love this song, Catherine--great job making the extended metaphor about songwriting into a reflection on self.
@@TomPennerMusic thanks Tom 🥰
Beautiful song, melody and lyrics and a great vocal
Thank you- much appreciated 😊
Really enjoying your Original songs. This one is class! Keep on keeping on… as someone once sang.
Thanks Ger! Really appreciate the feedback 😊
Worth every last take - unspoken truth to the roof - Love the medley and the vocals BTW
Aw, thank you! Unspoken troof to the roof- now there's a lyric 😅
What an treasure trove of goodness, Catherine. This is a masterpiece of a song, my good friend. Fantastic words, a treat of a melody and oh what a mesmerising vocal come together to give us a wonderment of a song. Brilliant, Catherine, you should be so proud of this one, my good friend.
Thank you so much, Robin- I was just saying that your comments themselves are poetry- I'm sure you could write songs from them ❤

😂 I try not to be ,sometimes I want to leave this place It alienates all that are human 😢😊, Lovely song ❤ I'd rather, die on my feet Than live on my knees These are my thoughts of yr song
Everyone will take their own meaning from the songs and that's why I love writing so much. Thank you ❤
@catherinemccrystal9391 iam no charlatan, just trying to stay human ,Yr lyrics show a maturity of mind 🥰👍
@catherinemccrystal9391 like art its all subjective, I know what you're saying 👀🙏
