America cover
 
It's been a while since I attempted another cover so I went with something really easy. At least my mom likes it. :)

I Need You by America.

This is really good. The vocals are right on. Harmonies very tight. Are you harmonizing with yourself? Think I'll have another listen!

I'm a fan of this, too. Good job.

Sage97 03-26-2015 09:13 AM

Thank you very much folks.

Gibbyguy, yes I harmonized with myself. I did the lead vocals first and did the others later.

Thanks again for everyone's kind words.

Very well done!! You give this old song new life with your own vocal inflections and style...nice!!

Outstanding job! You kept the essence of the original!

That was a very popular album when it came out. The two big songs that charted were "A Horse With no Name" and "I Need You".

Thank you very much Bob and noman. AMerica is one of my favorite bands and I'm glad that you think I was able to do their song justice.

you knocked it out of the park! and yes, you kept the essence of the original while making this your own!

Sage97 03-27-2015 09:38 AM

Thank you very much Norm and Basalt Beach. I am very glad to hear your words of encouragement and affirmation.

VERY nice stuff. Your vocal harmonies are great. I checked out some of your other songs too. The Neil Young cover "Birds" blew me away...I have not listened to that piece in years. What a songwriter he is, and you certainly nailed it. I also listened to your cover of "All of the Stars"..a song that just goes through me. I bought it after seeing the movie "The Fault in Our Stars". I must admit that I kept waiting for the high note near the end, but you elected to do it a different way. Great job on all of it.
