I thought this was a Taylor Hicks video. I've never heard of either Little Feat or Lowell George, and wouldn't have if Taylor hadn't done this song! Thanks Taylor for always introducing me to other artists. Great job.......
@JenniJaco Exactly! "Oh come on, this is a very good performance. Give the guy credit for knowing good music. People who have never heard this song before now might look into Little Feat and Lowell George."
NJ4Taylor........were you one of the people who called in to talk to Taylor yesterday on the Finebaum show? He said he'll be heading back your way soon!
Oh come on, this is a very good performance. I know Little Feat well, have seen them 4 times in concert, but never heard this song before Taylor sang it. I then listened to Lowell's version. I think TH has a better vocal than Lowell George, but it is LGs song so he had the advantage of claiming it his own. Preferences fall on the first version you hear. Give the guy credit for knowing good music. People who have never heard this song before now might look into Little Feat and Lowell George.
Listen to Jackson Browne's version of this song and you will realize what an amateur this guy is....but I still appreciate him doing the song of a great songwriter...
Great tune, but I find this version a little lacking. Nowhere near the soul of Lowell George. And imho I think my guitar arrangement is better than this. But then again, he's up there and I'm toiling away. Props to him for at least plucking this tune out of relative obscurity and giving it a go.
I don't like his phrasing; sounds like he's rushed, or hurrying. Or like he's concentrating on the guitar too hard and not relaxing into what should be the smooth, contemplative pace of the song. Lowell had it best, of course. Shaun Murphy does it right fine these days, too, though!
Frankly I think this is awful. I'm agreeing with blakexzappa - probably better to leave this song alone, because Lowell defined it. You want to listen to this .... go to the original !!
Good lord this guy can make my heart pound right out of my chest!
That was excellent! Beautiful vocals and great guitar playing.
It's still about the voice. And he is so much better now.
oldikins, I'm with you . Thank you Taylor!
Love it... thanks!

Lovely Vocal, Be nice if he knew the chords to the song. I mean he is not even close in some spots.

Give him credit for trying, but that's awful.
Little Feat released this song on the Last Record Album - an infinite classic
Beautifully done, Taylor!!
