the original is much better, in my opinion.

regards,

I want to thank @Calyxander for posting those two Tommy Emmanuel Collaboration videos! d8JBdDJ I know I will be returning to those time and again in the future. Iā€™m seriously looking forward to exploring the entire Collaboration series! Those two posts brought so much joy to my heart! :heart_eyes:

At the end of the video I actually selected something that was suggested, something Iā€™ve ever done before. I donā€™t like being sold to, but shit howdy am I ever thankful I did wait this time.

Right or Wrong is a jazz standard from 1921. Iā€™m most familiar with the many Country/Western Swing versions. I love the song, and Iā€™m telling you, this is some seriously beautiful guitar playing! You know, just two guys sittinā€™ around in a guitar store. lol (1) Yeah, right. Full disclosure, I donā€™t know who Kenny Vaughn is, but he is certainly a fine guitar player. That said, holy fuck, Tommyā€™s leads are so subtly textured! Absolutely fantastic! Iā€™m sure part of that is the guitars, but I believe thatā€™s far less important than the skill.

Yes, Iā€™ve chosen not to post any Western Cowboy boot tapping Swing versions! rofl

This is Leon Redboneā€™s cover, which unlike most other later recordings, includes the verses, not simply the chorus.

Honestly, in my not particularly humble opinion, they all pale in comparison to this guitar shop version, which may have been impromptu, given at least Kennyā€™s guitar still has a price tag. As I say, I think this may be my new favorite version which is amazing to me cuz Iā€™m usually all about the vocals, particularly Tommy Duncanā€™s. But thisā€¦ Holy fuck, Tommy Emmanual is such a monster!
