Pandemic! 2020: Music to Quarantine By [track 8]

I first heard this song in the 70s, the hard rock version by Nazareth with the blistering vocal and powerful guitar solo.  It was years later that I discovered the original, gentle Everly Brothers version with their high harmony, and then the Gram Parsons/Emmylou Harris version with the oddly optimistic guitar solo, and the Roy Orbison vocal-forward version.  Each reveals a different facet to the simple lyrics by Boudleaux Bryant.  

So here’s my contribution to the canon. I tried to capture a bit of each (well, except Orbison, perhaps.)

I’m afraid it’s a little noisy– there’s some ground hum & distortion noise that I didn’t hear during the recording, and haven’t quite figured out how to EQ out.  Learning on the job here, folks. 

Eureka!  After posting, I found the obscure setting I needed for a High Pass Filter deep in the bowels of GarageBand.  Not perfect, but sounds quite a bit better.
