Sometime last year I was listening to Johnny Cash's American recordings, and was wondering what would the Hip sound like if Cash stripped a TTH song down to his singer/songwriter style.

I started playing around with this, and finally this morning decided to record it to my computer to take a listen.

Hope this doesn't offend anyone.......

And now for the disclaimer:

I'm at the tail end of a cold, so my vocals stray a little here & there. I also can't pick a guitar. I like to play rhythm, full chords, but when it comes to hitting individual notes, I'm pretty lost. Maybe I'll take a guitar lesson sometime...

Anyway, enjoy! I'd love to hear what you think, as my usual audience only consists of my 1 1/2 year old daughter :thumb:

Pretty dang sweet!

Becuase you started by saying Johnny Cash, I was just preparing myself to hear a Cash type voice. It was not that at all, but still quite good, I'm impressed.

I didn't know what to expect, but the result was better than I was imagining. Good work, SRB!

Thanks. I guess I should have clarified that the guitar playing was more in style with Cash than my vocals.

Glad you like it!

Thanks for sharing Scott! Maybe this will reignite our interest in the Hip fans band project?

the best part about that project was the person who thought of it. It was his idea then never recorded anything lol

i think people should post more of their covers... here is one i did, its not as good as srb's, but you've got to start somewhere, im on guitar... its a shame i didn't sing it to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jAU0Nn7Kgmw

sounds like the guitar is out of tune

haha probably is... or the guitar is just a piece

Yeah, I probably should have tuned it up first. :lol:

and yes, it's a 17 year old piece.

what tuning did you use? TragicallySteve posted a good one in Drop D

if you are talking to me, normal tuning... didn't change it... thats probably why it sounds out of tune.. because it is..

I just figured you two were talking about my guitar being out of tune, as I didn't tune it properly before recording.

And Sohi, I assumed you were referring to my guitar as a piece, hence my "17 year" spiel.

no man, im referring to my guitar being a piece... i broke my guitar that day and had to use my friends guitar, and he was just starting so he didn't have the best sounding electric acoustic on the market

I guess Im talking to both of you since I dont know who is playing what
