You are absolutely GREAT on guitar, drums, and, well, everything. And GREAT singer to boot. Not to mention the expertise it must've taken to mix it all seeing as how you sang and played all the instruments. Loved your take on "All Along the Watchtower" and that guitar riff was SMOKIN. And duets! With yourself! (sounded like three voices on "Going Down" ) including some reverb (or is it called echo) thrown in. Great organ bit in that one too. Also parts of it sounded a bit like horns (I figure that was keyboard work as well). And "Running Down a Dream." Fantastic, imo. More great guitar riffs - your own take without losing the essence of the original.

"Impressive. Most impressive" .

Recommend other DU'ers give it a listen.
