I second that foma (-:

and I like to quote a person called Chris Wise  about this cover:

"With soooo much bullshit in the world of recording, you just did what EVERY acoustic guitar player knows to be true: ain't nobody good until you can play it, touch it, and experience it at it's most fundamental level. Just a singer and his guitar, nothing else necessary--no fancy anything, just real--as in REAL. If a person or a band can't do this, it is just tricks."

And what a genious Artist Buster Keaton was! Love that video. Many of the scenes I have seen before, but a lot of stuff was new to me. Phantastic!

nice one. I like it. I think that it could have been cool even without the whistling. the guitar plays some notes of the lead line.

and I like Keaton too. It's always amazing to think that all these stunts were done without special effects....
