Cover of Clapton's Wonderful Tonight


The second tune I have created using my new Zoom MRS-8 exclusively. After owning this unit now for a couple of weeks, I can honestly say it's been my best purchase so far this year. This is, technically, a repost since I have already made of cover of this tune using my PC DAW. A bit of hum on this one due to the very hot Tex Mex pups on my JV Strat.
Used my lovely Marshall V57M condenser mic again on this for the vocals. Hope you like.

Oh yeah, yet another smoothie song for the afternoon, what more can I ask for? Kuddos for keeping those hi notes on the vox man, I wouldnīt even dare to try, and you managed to do it pretty good. And that guitar was sweet as the original take, sounded great. Just one thing, the mix sounded a little low, bring up the vox and pump the whole thing a little if possible

Really solid piece of production and good guitar work on there. I always thought this was a really fun song to play. Your vocal performance was very intimate and you have a certain vulnerability to your phrasing. Was really cool. You also remind me of someone, but I can't place it: maybe Warren Zevon or somebody like that. Awesome post!!

Oh hell, we had to play this sappy song in Paradise band.

The guitar sounds great - the music is just like the origional. Is this a backing track? Or do you play the keyboard too?



I assume thats you singing? Your hitting some wrong notes - but hey, it's cool.
