Hi,
Did anybody heard about this version :



The solo is like....don't know have to ask the Doctor
If I realised that the chances were slim,
How come I'm so surprised when the tide rolled in

Hi!

Listened that song for first time now and I am pretty sure that solo is NOT played by Mark.

also, this phrase of his shows how small the world can be:
In the early 1990s you performed on the

Great interview, especially for us guitar geeks. Think this says a lot (emphases mine):

"Who do you most get into listening to right now?
Tom Petty and Mike Campbell. I have Wildflowers in one car and Highway Companion in the other. Those albums have all the tone, taste, and soul that you would ever need. I still love Andrew Gold

Love the country guitar twang.
Thanks for posting!

You're the one who brought up TR, and I object to what you said, which in effect was that as long as TR is played with soul, it doesn't matter how it is played. Even though Brent Rowan emphasises heart, it doesn't mean he thinks finesse excludes soul. TR is a perfect example of a song where finesse and technical ability are required. Imagine the baroque piano part being played in a sloppy manner ...

Quite the contrary, that's not what I said.  It matters to me very much how it is played, it's paramount!  That is why I don't think fastness should be at the expense of accuracy and feeling!   Sorry I brought up the subject of TR, but that was what sprang to mind when I read your highlighted quote.  I feel that TR, these days, is still played with masses of finesse and technical ability, together with feeling!   Take a listen to Manchester 2010.    :)

Anyway, we are talking about "Prairie Wedding" and I like the Kenny Rogers version very much!    :D

Kenny Rogers' version sounds a bit like something from the On Every Street album.
