Portland guitarist Jeff Koch captures this same sound on his Ibanez with a Bigsby vibrato. Just heard him last week at Troutdale, Oregon's Edgefield Winery. What I wouldn't give to hear Jeff and bandmate Brian Copeland cover this gem of a song from Lord Huron. The first time I heard "Fool for Love" the backing vocals instantly reminded me of those in Buddy Holly and The Crickets' 1957 recording, "Not Fade Away" (later covered by The Rolling Stones in early 1964).
My chest tightened listening to this. There will always be a very certain fondness for this song, especially in a performance like this. Years ago on a November evening I heard this song while sitting in the dark and the cold. It was the first ever time I’d heard them, and sometimes when I listen to this even now, it’s almost as if he’s as nameless and faceless as he was then, when I didn’t know them, and there was so much music to hear for the first time. Thank you for this. I carried on a bit there, sorry. I’m feeling melancholic.
