Hi Joey...I'm pretty pleased how this came out, especially the attempt to stay on tempo with Dave Mathews doing this live and as a solo. Your vocals made the song, not too many could do that ! Thanks for sharing your talent. Let me know what you think of the mix before I mark this as complete.

Joey...hope all is well. I made a lot of adds to keep the feel of the song the same, while trying to smooth out those unpredictable synchopated timeing changes that Dave Mathews put in this live version...which I still like best. Lynns keys really helped, then I played some guitar to her keys. Anyway...almost there with this one. Let me know what you think of the mix.

Lynn, love the add on the keys. Making this Willie Nelson, Dave Mathews tune our own...and Joeys vocals are amazing on this, so sounding pretty good.

Hey Joey...filled out some of the guitar with added tracks. This one was more of a challenge for instruments than I expected as Dave Mathews has slight changes of tempo and pauses that make it hard to stay in synch...but this try seem to sound much better. May still add some keys?
