Cowgirl In The Sand

[zeeway]

Really enjoyed that. Yep, even Neil Young would like it.

[dhockenbury]

Very well done.

[emtsteve]

Yup, nailed it! As said previously, there is a time and place for a "your own way" cover and then there's the faithful reproduction. This absolutely slayed the latter. Good on you to stick it out.

[freedomfarm]

You were beyond driven! Glad you stuck to it! And so well done, nice job. Now i'm motivated to dig up some of my set-asides!

[nuchdig]

Very nice. Neil does in fact tune down to DGCFAD

[difalkner]

Loved that - very good! Good sound on the guitar, too.

I have played that since the 70's but could never sing it unless I sang it an octave lower, never thought about tuning my guitar down. LOL!

Finally I determined to meet this goal and not give up. So I settled on
tuning the guitar 2 full steps down to give my singing a chance.
Usually I don't have the patience for more than one or two takes on a song.
But this was different. I spent hours into the night doing take after take
until finally in the early morning hours I was almost ready to give it up.
I was truly exhausted at this point. I decided to give it one more try with
everything I had left and I finally got through the whole song singing.
Definitely the toughest vocal. I am straining but had nothing left after this.

Well done! This one of my favorite tunes ever.
