  • @carey-gregory
    @carey-gregory 2 года назад +43

    This is hands down the best cover of this song I've ever heard. Etta's song was emotionally charged and demands an emotional response. I've heard many covers that just didn't understand that, but this one does. The PFC band nailed it.

      Ysabel, I play harmonica and know hundreds of others who do - from all over the world. There are groups on facebook as well - check them out. If any of you play chromatics (as I do), check out slidemeister dot org (we are a community of chromatic harmonica players with a small area for diatonic players). Here's the rehearsal of this fantastic song :ruclips.net/video/lw1kwnnpTw0/видео.html
      and for what it's worth, I played along on my chromatic (a hohner cx-12). :)
