Joe B covers Prince with Scary Pockets

[VaThump]

For any TGP folks who might like catching Joe B out of his native habitat, here he is working out a Prince cover (though this one hews closer to the original than a typical SP arrangement).

Sounds very good to me. Pretty lady with a pretty voice! Tell me more. BTW that's my favorite tailpiece for the SG.

Tasty! Reserved!

Maybe touring with Josh Smith is paying off for him, this sounded a little like his style..

Hunter Elizabeth. one of the upsides of that group is how many talented singers they bring into the rotation. I've found a few new faves through their video channels.

Lot to be said for just letting it rip, but I like Joe B in this vocal style of playing

What a great song. Prince is on the Mt. Rushmore of American songwriters. Band cultivates a great vibe, including Joe B with his tasty embellishments. Lovely singing. I'm not in love with the guitar solo. Overall, I enjoyed it.

Nice version. Tasty playing all around.

I learned, on TGP of all places, that Prince has no talent. Surely this must be an impostor!

 

[DV52]

Nice!

Sounds very Steely Dan ish. Good stuff.

 

[LARRY GERSHON]

He should do more stuff like this!

Great cover. Love the voice, and Joe B’s solo is very nice. Spotted what looked like a Dumble combo behind him.

Ooohh Yeah! That was smoldering! Great playing by everyone; Joe shined a bit; very tasty playing that totally added to the song and complemented that marvelous young lady's vocal.

Fantastic! I definitely like Joe’s playing a lot more when he pulls it back like this. Less notes + more feeling = AWESOME!

A lot of boomer bends.
It'd be nice to to hear him play some notes. Robben Ford style.

The unaccompanied solo was weird.

 

[hillbillypolack]

Good god dang. The swagger in that performance. Awesome.

I dig Joe on his own, but I REALLY dig his playing when he's paired up with a great vocalist. His playing with Beth Hart was fantastic.
