Separate Studios Together (Damn Yankees - High Enough cover)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 сен 2024
- This week, we tackle a tune that apparently EVERYONE loves. High enough by the Damn Yankees. I haven't met a single person who, when you mention this song, doesn't say, "Oh my god, I love that song". Such a powerhouse band. I'm sure we'll try another one down the road.
I did something a little different with this cover and asked my good friend, Steve Langley, to mix it for me. Steve mixed my first, and only single released from my solo album, project, debacle, perfectionist's worst nightmare. He did an amazing job on both tunes.
I went a little overboard for the solo, but I think it was required. I also had to insert part of the original video so folks didn't think I just decided to put a smoke machine in front of my house and stand on the front porch and RAWK!
Enjoy, see you next week!

The Nugent police solo was one of those things where I was hoping something like that would happen before I watched the video, and then it happened. Thanks for making my day.
Glad we could help. Was feeling kinda silly on my front porch at 10:30pm. Glad I did it though.
@@DonnieWayneSmith Donnie Wayne!! That solo was awesome, Boss!
@@dzl8596 Thanks man. You should have seen my wife out in the front yard waving the light around at 11pm. heh heh
@@DonnieWayneSmith I hope there's video of that for the "making of" documentary. LOL
I’ve watched and listened to this video several times. I’m still in awe of the performance! Katie Edwards is vocal monster! So love her voice! 👊
Swear some of these have nicer recording equipment than Muscle Shoals or L.A. Great Job. Sometimes I think people forget how big Ted,Tommy or Jack were in the 70-80’s. It was a great time in life.
We saw Night Ranger this past Friday night at Graceland in Memphis. Jack sang the intro to Come Again and KILLED it. Sounded so good. Guitars were mixed a little low for my taste but his voice was AMAZING!
That was a great rendition of a lost American classic. I love the take with a female vocal by Katie Edwards. It added a subtle passion. Especially the homage to the Nuge solo. LOL! Thanks for sharing
I am genuinely impressed especially on how well they played that song it is tough to match the original Damn Yankees and props to the dude that came out playing the guitar just like Ted Nugent did in the music video made me chuckle
Amazing job !!! Congratulations!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you!
Katie and Danny have awesome voices. Great Band as well.
Great job!!!!!! And yes, I love this song.
This deserves a billion views imo
Finger Crossed!
My English is poor. Sorry.
Allow me to thank you first.
This song is my recollection.
When I saw this video, my body trembled.
Listening to your wonderful performance, I also play the guitar today.
I support you from Japan.
That is so very kind! Thank you so much. We really appreciate it. Just playing the songs we love hoping to have people from all over the world hear it! Thanks again!
Love this song's interesting chord changes to start with, and the production values and fidelity to the original are fantastic. Very well done, can't imagine a better cover of this unless the lead guitarist was wearing pro cycling sunglasses ;)
Holy crap that is by far the most perfect cover of a song by any artist that I've ever heard. You guys have no idea how much joy watching and listening to your video brought me. I spend a lot of time on the road and I get bored and I listen to covers of my favorite songs and you guys just made top of the list truly professionals you guys are awesome do some more from that era!
Thanks so much, Brian. What a great time recording it. And these guys are wizards on the mix-down.
Oh wow, what a great song; I think the Damn Yankees are proud to hear something like this!
Thank you! That's very kind!
Great cover! This is such a hard tune to do well and y'all went above and beyond nailing harmonies, solo a la original vid, etc. Thanks for a great rendition of my favorite power ballad :)
Thanks so much for the kind words. We really appreciate you listening. Check out some of the other videos in our playlist. Thanks again!
That girl has a beautiful voice! Great cover!!
What a powerful voice that of yours, Katie Edwards !!!
I love the way he come out and play the guitar wow..
Nice job guys!!!! My dad was the Yankees Production manager during this time and I can attest to this faithful rendition.
Thank you so much!
Marbelus 👏👏👏... marbelus....
Thank you!
Very well done. But the the Donnie Wayne Nugent solo was freaking awesome !
Ha, thanks! It needed a little something special.
One of the best cover 🙂😊☺
Thank you so much! We appreciate that.
I will honestly rate this cover of High Enough the best among all that I've listened. No other covers come close. Congrats on creating this legend of a cover!
Thank you so much! That's very kind and we all appreciate it so much! Cheers!
Spectacular 😊❤️😊😊
Thanks a lot 😊
That was great! The porch solo was a cool addition!
Thanks, I had to add the original so folks would have context. If not, I may have looked kinda strange. Thanks for the listen.
Swat team buzzing 1196, Donnie jumps out axe in hand, smoke everywhere gitarz blazing, beard flinging through the air.
Ha, you silly!
LOL . . .
素晴らしいです〜自分の大好きな曲の一つ！改めて、ハイイナフが好きになりました。ありがとうございます。
Thank you. I had to use translate. : ) Very, Very kind of you to say.

Thank you, very kind!

This is awesome! Great harmonies. I love the solo in your doorway. :-)
Thanks, had to break it up a little and go Uncle Ted style. : )

You guys are amazing. This sounds amazing! Thank you.
Oh yeah …the front porch part sealed the greatness of this vid. 👍🏼
Glad you enjoyed it! You should have seen my wife out in the front yard at 10:30pm waving the light around. Fortunately, our neighbors know us fairly well, so they just smiled and drove past. : )
@@DonnieWayneSmith it's crazy timing that you just responded to this.....driving to work yesterday morning, I had the Damn Yankees version on. During the guitar solo I was thinking of that scene in your version. Awesome!
Nice. I remember seeing the original in concert in 1991 or so.
Hey this is amazing!! Everyone involved did such a fantastic job!! 😀😎🔥
Thank you so much!
Awesome ..just awesome!!
Well done everyone 👏👏
Love the effects for the solo outside 😉👌
The dog at the end...priceless!
That's Robert's dog, Venus. Sweet big ole puppy.
Wow, fantastic job.
Thank you very much!
I love this cover so much. Heard this song for the first time in years a couple days ago, and it just came back to me how good this song is, and I knew I needed to find an awesome arrangement to listen to. Thanks for being what I was looking for!!
Wow, thank you! That's very kind. Hopefully, we'll have some newer videos out soon.
Wow!!!
Rodrigo Duarte talks about you all the time, now I know why.That’s a great version. With a lot of feeling in the lead guitar. I’ll definitely check more of your work!
Thank you, Eduardo. Rodrigo is very kind and supportive. We love what we do, glad you guys are enjoying it.
spectacular guys and gals
What can I say, they get better and better. Fyi good see you layin some vocals down Mr. Smith and the porch solo was the bomb! Keep em comin!

This was rad.
That is so good
Thank you!
Holllllly!!!!!!! I loved Damn Yankees and you guys took it to the next level..Ms Katie...you have some serious pipes....the drums and yes the kickass lead solo!! Rock on 🤟🇨🇦
GREAT JOB! outstanding work. Boy does this make this old man feel sorta young again, just fer a second. With all respect, the Lady on vocals has an amazing set of pipes! I could not believe her voice...I know there was some processing going on but WOW can she sing!
You folks should be playing music regularly and waiting from lightning to strike. I will be sharing this.
That's all so very kind. Thank you!
80's through early 90's, remembering my youth. Great sound and Play. Greeting from Tokyo, Japan. : )
