Who gets this song right?
(Both live versions for proper comparison).
BTW, I read somewhere just recently same guitarist (proper, name one) insisting that there were only two real Guitar Gods, Jimmy H and JJ Cale. Which might be taking it a little too far……
They both do. Totally different interpretations. Cale’s someone you sit back & listen to. Skynyrd you go out & rock to, beer in hand.
I much prefer JJCale’s version.
Could be the LS version would sound better with improved audio. But unlike BiS, with the version offered, I’d just put my hands over my ears and hope they’d stop soon.
Live rock always sounds a bit rough. Even if the sound engineer sets up well the musicians fuck with it mid set. Guitarists always want their amp on eleven because they can’t hear themselves.
BiS
Yes n no.
Heard Eric johnson pre covid. Appalling sound (in the Paramount, in Austin). Not only too loud but inappropriately distorted.
Also heard Bob Schneider and his long term band at the Saxon Pub.
Loud, yes, but Undistorted.
Johnny Hiland – a monster country guitarist and unlikeliest guitar god ever, also playing Call Me The Breeze. Basically country guitarists piss on all the others

Glenn Campbell was an incredible guitarist.
Technically excellent, in the right key and all that too. But the playing doesn’t have all that much to do with the actual song.
OK, I’m being unfair, a bit, but it’s sorta “Guitar Solo V1” which could be fed into half the catalogue. G Solo V2 suiting for the other half.
I prefer JJ Cale – always so cool and laid back.
