“A Change is Gonna Come” (Sam Cooke electric cover) – The Guest Sessions [Ep 3, Fall 2011]

By David Reed & Justin Hamilton:

David Reed and Justin Hamilton of Airplanes cover Sam Cooke’s beautiful 1964 track ”A Change is Gonna Come.”  (Shot in Dallas — 5/30/2011.)

[Editor's Note: This is an interesting twist in the usual format of our Laptop Sessions.  First of all, this video isn't being hosted on YouTube, and second, this is a two-man combo (increasingly rare here recently).  One beautifully subtle electric guitar and one passionate lead vocal make for the perfect cover song.  Enjoy -- I know I did!]
