Two more Dry River Band Covers

[David L]

Here are two more Dry River Band covers from the recent house party. Unfortunately the mic was picking up a bit of crowd noise.

Down by the River, written by Neil Young. Always a crowd-pleaser.

Mariano, written by Robert Earl Keen. This one resonates with us in the band as well as many folks Tucson, being so close to the border. The lyrics are the star of this song. It is a poignant, haunting, sad song, and many of us have known someone very much like Mariano.

If you guys don’t mind, I’d like to post one of our originals later.

Post anything you want…these are great. Your tone and playing on Down by the River was spot on. All of you guys sound great.

Or the strength of an Oak with roots deep in the ground.

Thanks for sharing these David! I hope this inspires other AM’rs to get with some folks and play live music.

Thanks Mike. I totally agree with you. It is such a blessing to be able to create music with other folks.

Thanks so much for sharing these David. I really enjoyed the songs and ‘Yes’ absolutely loved ‘Mariano’. Your guitar fills and solos complement the vocals and band so well, a joy to listen to. As I mentioned in previous post, fantastic to see footage of live performances. All the best! 😎🎸😎

[David L]

Thanks again, Garry. I’m very fortunate and honored to be able to make music with my friends.

Beautiful renditions of two great songs. I always loved both and you paid homage to them in a brilliant way. Liked very much your guitar parts because they are very melodic and they are at the service of the song, and the vocal harmonies. Very well done with your band David!

Thank you, Guido. I just try to honor the music and pay homage to the authors.

Great melodic guitar solo’s David.

Go slow and practice correct technique, and your abilities will dramatically improve.

[David L]

Thank you Michael.

[AndréM]

David your band is great, nice to see you playing with your friend.

You guys need a bigger stage.

Thanks Andre. You would not believe how small some of the stages are that we’ve played on.
