“Good Enough”
Tom Petty & The HeartbreakersINTRO: Em Am C B Em C#m Bbm Gm – F#m - Em
Em
She was hell on her mama, impossible to please;
Am
She wore out her daddy, got the best of me.
C B
And there’s something about her that only I can see,
B Em C - B
And that’s good enough.You’re barefoot in the grass, and you’re chewin’ sugarcane.
You got a little buzz on; you’re kissin’ in the rain.
And if a day like this don’t ever come again,
That’s good enough.C B A - G - F#
Good enough for me; good enough for right now, yeah.
Good enough for me; good enough for right now, yeah.SOLO: Em Am C B Em C#m Bbm Gm – F#m - Em
God bless this land, God bless this whiskey.
I can’t trust love: it’s far too risky.
If she marries into money, she’s still gonna miss me,
And that’s good enough. Gonna have to be good enough…SOLO: Em Am C B Em C#m Bbm Gm – F#m - Em (x2)
OUTRO: Em C#m Bbm Gm – F#m - Em (x6)

“How’s It Going To Be” (Third Eye Blind Acoustic Rock Cover Song) – The Laptop Sessions

Hello and welcome to another Laptop Session, your source for quality acoustic cover songs! I’ve been taking it easy this past week, recording songs that I know and love, from bands I’m very comfortable with, such as the Band and Bob Dylan. This week, however, I’m endeavoring to expand my range a bit, and I think I have. I have a busy week coming up, as it’s the last week of school before summer, and there’s papers and exams a-plenty to be graded. To compensate for that, I recorded my three video blog entries today, which will cover me for today, Original Wednesday (when we songwriters get to showcase our own material!), and next Saturday.
My contribution to the Laptop Sessions cover songs blog is “How’s It Going To Be,” one of the singles from the same Third Eye Blind album that boasted their hit “Semi-Charmed Life.” This is a great song and very much conducive to being translated acoustically for this session. It was a fun experience, as I don’t think I’d ever fully grasped what the words to the verses were! But, I broke out my copy of the album — yay for buying physical copies rather than digital downloads! — and consulted the booklet, and I was in business.
This is the best way to record a cover song, in my personal opinion — unless you have an incredibly reliable memory for these things, like Jim “iPod for a brain” Fusco. Go to the original and play along, check your chords and tune, and then go off on your own. It was a bit challenging, as the chorus is different each time it’s played, not to mention that there’s a middle part that is practically shouted on the studio recording. I did the best I could with it, and I’m pretty happy with the outcome. To be truthful, there is one flubbed line by yours truly in the middle, but the middle is difficult to understand to begin with AND the words for that part are excluded from the lyrics section of the booklet! Not cool…
Well, I’m back to grading papers after having a fairly enjoyable couple hours here recording songs for the week. I can’t wait for my Original Wednesday, when I will play a song from my very first album working with a band, and Saturday will bring an artist that I have not covered before, but Jeff and/or Jim has. Any guesses?
Don’t forget to check back tomorrow for an all-new and excellent Laptop Session from Jeff…
See you next session!

“Stage Fright” (The Band Acoustic Rock Cover Song) – The Laptop Sessions

I’m proud to present the first in a week-long event here at http://LaptopSessions.com entitled “Title Tracks Week”!! Each day this week, we’ll unveil a new session devoted to a song whose title is the same as the album it was on. For instance, I chose a song from the Band’s 1970 album Stage Fright called — well, you may have guessed it already — “Stage Fright.”
This is an interesting song to me, as I’ve heard and read rumors over the years that this song was written by the Band’s Robbie Robertson in reference to Bob Dylan. If anyone would know, it would be someone like Robertson, who has played many shows with Dylan over the years, most often as his lead guitarist. (He’s particularly well-known for being the electric guitarist that powered Dylan’s sound in the mid-60s, when he first “went electric.”)
For anyone who’s seen Dylan play on stage, it does make sense that he might suffer from a form of stage fright…
So, without further ado, here’s the first of seven title tracks this week — even Original Wednesday this week will be a title track. I hope you’ll check back tomorrow for Jeff’s installment!
See you next session!

So, look out this week for reviews of albums from the Beach Boys, Bob Dylan, and an album that just came out this year.
As a side note, I was inspired this weekend by one of my friends to write a “top ten albums” list for the first half of 2010. I’ve copied my list below, and it’ll be interesting to see what stays the same and what changes by December 31st. For once, I’m including no commentary. Just the list. So, consider it a preview of what’s to come in six months!

1) All in Good Time – Barenaked Ladies
2) Sea of Cowards – The Dead Weather
3) Heaven is Whenever – The Hold Steady
