Can't Let Go - Lucinda Williams (ukulele cover)

[CountryMouse]

This is a video I did in September 2009, when I'd only been playing ukulele for a month. I didn't upload it then because I was worried about possible copyright issues with YouTube. I just (re)discovered it on my hard drive! LOL! Sorry it's so dark!

I love the way you choose and take control of the songs you do.

You probably know that Robert Plant and Alison Krauss covered this on their most recent album. What a find on the hard drive! Nicely done way back then!

You sound great!

Thank you so much! Since I came back in April 2021 (I totally left singing and playing for 8 years!), I've had more trouble with stage/camera fright for some reason. As you can see, when I was first playing and singing, I just enjoyed myself. Now I worry about how much better everyone else is, etc. :-/

Thank you! No, I actually didn't know that! Mine was just sitting on the hard drive all this time! LOL!

love this song CM!
(dunno if you'd remember me but back in the ol days round here
i went under the handle of Eugene Ukulele)
really enjoyed your version of this, brilliant album it is too.
i did a cover of it myself also a few years ago now.
cheers Mousey!

PS - i have the same self-conscious fears too
- everyone else is better, i can't sing etc -
and my heartbeat doubles in speed every time i try to record something...
doesn't stop me though!

Thank you! I can't see your video--it says you closed down your YouTube account! Eep!
