When I was learning to play the guitar in the '60s Eric Clapton was God, not only that but in the London blues clubs of the time he was actually referred to as 'God.' Times have moved on and there are new gods no doubt but his live version of Crossroads lives on as one of the great performances. I decided to revisit my past and do my own little version with a bit of added PSG for good measure. I think it sounds quite nice. Blues meets C&W!!

Thanks for listening (and that includes you Eric...although I know you'll continue to ignore me).

Love it, Gary! Great vocal and such a simmering intensity. Cool bluesy steel. Thanks

Thanks Mike
Yeah, the vocal did turn out pretty good! Not sure how I managed that, definitely a first. In fact, you're right, the track turned out well, let's be honest. It was just one of those things...I did the whole thing from beginning to end, mixdown and everything in less than 3 hours. But then it only took Eric Clapton just over 4 minutes, so I've nothing to crow about really!
Thanks for listening.
Gary
