Here's a cover of the Crosby Stills & Nash tune "Helpless" from the CD "Seducing The '60s," and it's sung by Brandi Shearer. This is a country-rock rendition, and probably as close to being what I thought could be a commercial Americana "hit," as anything I've done. Of course it wasn't, for a number of reasons, but I'm very proud of the arrangement, production and Brandi's vocals.

And here's a version that we played live at Amoeba Music S.F. for the record release party.

Thanks all for chiming in. I appreciate it.

For those who enjoyed that, here's an amazing live version of the Motown chestnut "Every Little Bit Hurts" featuring Brandi, from the same gig.
