stuart estell Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 (edited) Folks, I've had a go at recording "If I Could Read Your Mind" - inspired by Johnny Cash's version of it. It's recorded on my Wheatstone Maccann Duet. One of those songs that it's quite hard to keep slow without racing off at the more intense moments! If you'd like to have a listen, it's here on my website Edit.... of course, it's "If You Could Read My Mind" not the other way round, as I've titled the thread... I'm tired, that's my excuse Edited June 17, 2007 by stuart estell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm tired, that's my excuse Stuart! you are an inspiration. Your accent and the playing remind me of Robyn Hitchcock (one of my favorite musicians), like somethign he might have done. The chording of the duet adds a very haunting quality to the tune, lending the lyrical content more potent. I appreciate the fact you provide us with samples of your playing. Now you should do "Sundown". Edited June 18, 2007 by Hooves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellowbelle Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 So nice! I love it. It's great to hear some of my old favorite songs played on the concertina (and sung so superbly, by Stewart). I can remember singing and playing that song on my guitar, over and over and over! It's always been a favorite. I'm not familiar with Johnny Cash singing it, only Gordon Lightfoot, whom I always admired. I also worked out 'The Circle Is Small,' and 'Sundown,' and maybe some others...I can't remember....on guitar. I think I'll work out his 'Rainy Day People' with concertina. My concertina needs something like that one.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
