Default New cover (short!): Fuel (Damien Jurado)

Hey all,

Just completed a cover of Damien Jurado's "Fuel". The original is just him and a guitar and REAL grim. I tried to insert a slightly upbeat feel without totally violating the original's vibe.

Sorry for the low volume of the link. Not sure why--the mp3 file plays at a good volume on my laptop and iPod. Go figure.

As always, I'd welcome feedback and tips. Thanks in advance!

Fuel (Damien Jurado)

Nice job. Don't know the original but can see how it could get grim. Really cool but simple strumming pattern. Enjoyed it!

I don't know the original, but your performance sounds good to me! It has an interesting story...I'd like to know who he was referring to or thinking of when he wrote it. I enjoyed it, so thanks for posting it!

Yeah, no clue who or what Damien wrote the song about, but he'd definitely a storyteller.
