    Trying to cover this song, or any song done by the Tedeschi Trucks band, is pretty daring. Some have tried, and most have failed. But not this band. They pulled it off, and beautifully, putting their own stamp on the song. Great vocals and instrumentals. I congratulate all of you for doing the nearly impossible. I hope Susan and Derek listen to this cover. I think they'd like it.

    I seriously doubt that anyone loves the TTB original more than me and I could barely bring myself to watch this because I thought you’d blow it. You really really didn’t. I was in tears by the start of the solo and didn’t let up till the end. You really captured the emotional core of the song with your own stamp on its presentation. Derek and Susan would have to be proud of you. I know I am, you all did a fantastic job.

    I saw them as a trio last week in Gateshead supporting Robin Trower where they opened with this track by the Tedeschi Trucks Band. As I already had the TTB CD I was more than impressed with this version. Superb evening overall. Got the new CD signed by Jess and Frankie which I'm playing a lot.

    Like other commenters, I just love TTB's original. But it says something fine about this group that they wanted to take it on. Jess Hayes, Frankie Connolly and the rest of the players delivered the goods. Great singing, Jess moves it from soul to the gospel and Frankie's guitar work wisely avoided Derrick's defining slide sound and smoked it with his own. In this world, at this time, we need as much healing as we can get. Thanks.

It's like a warm embrace, which, at this present moment in my own life, is very much needed.
