Yet another "Ain't No Sunshine"

[Organic Sounds Select Guitars]

A couple of weeks ago, ThermiteTermite posted his version of this classic by the great Bill Withers, a song I hadn't thought of for awhile. It's such a soulful song. I started to riff with it, and this is how it evolved. I also was inspired recently by J-Doug who "put his neck out there" by singing "You are my Sunshine". I've never had much of a singing voice, but thought to myself, why not? So, here it is. Thank you as always for listening and I look forward to any feedback

(Also, thanks to Glenn for his recording advice. Glenn, I did the loud clap which allowed me to synchronize audio and video perfectly - thanks )

Terrific Larry!

Great job, Larry. Love the guitar work and your voice has a very cool JJ Cale feel (would love hear a version of Cajun Moon from you...). Good stuff!

Thanks for this! I like JJ Cale, nice to hear that I sound a little like him .
Just listened to Cajun Moon - very cool song. Thank you for the suggestion and the comment!

Hi Larry,

Very nicely done!

Man, you have a very nice, laid back bluesy style that works very well for that song!

I'm so glad the advice of using a hand clap to allow synchronization worked well for you! How cool!

Great arrangement, great execution. Thank you.

The back lighting from the closed blinds creates a dark mood that dovetails nicely with the song. When I first saw it I thought "Whoa, that doesn't work", but it does.

Thanks Glenn! I am drawn to these types of songs. And the hand clap made synchronizing so easy. Your support, comments and assistance are so much appreciated!

Thanks Mike! And thanks for commenting on the lighting. I thought about that when deciding on camera placement, and decided that a dark backlit mood was appropriate for this song. I also used the "blast" filter in iMovie which made it look even "moodier". Thanks for your comment!
