I’ve always loved this song, and Nina Simone, but had never tried playing it before. Really enjoyed learning this.

ive heard nina simone live, but never heard her sing this, live or on record. i do the song myself but more in the original jerry jeff walker mode. your version makes seems close to how nina simone might have done. it. ill have to look it up and listen to her. meanwhile, i am loving your performance.
Gives a whole new vibe to this song, which I’m loving! Will have to listen to Nina Simone now. Love her stuff! Well done, Joey!
I think I remember the first time I heard this song, and was possibly Sammy Davis Jr., and for some reason, just really caught my attention. I was very young.
- They made really interesting “songs” back then, more so maybe.
Well, it is a nostalgic theme song anyway as it is! lol! : )
What I find interesting too, is, your vocals carries it and you’re very relaxed and not pushing anything when do it - you’re fortunate that way, and has texture nonetheless.
Well done.

This is really beautifully done - your voice is fantastic. I really love your harmonizing with yourself. I’m a huge Elvis Costello fan and he does that quite often and I’ve always loved it.
Thanks for sharing.
