Manuel Quiles That was like Pork Spare-Ribs, Collard Greens, Corn Bread and Mash Potatoes for my earhole. And then just Bacon.

Paavo Bergmann Sry for not commenting earlier. Listened to this at least 58 times already. Great. Great cover. One of the even-better takes. goosebumps. This instantly made it to my personal top 20.

Manuel Quiles Do you know what it feels like when the sun rises right into your apartment balcony overlooking the Rocky Mountains right after you just paid rent and you're cooking Pancakes and Eggs with some sausage on the side and this Golden Sounding Song is playing like a goddamn GOOD? It makes me feel like my parents were happy once... That they might have experienced something similar in their day, doing the same thing. It's kind of cool, duh.

Gaylon Vickers Not being a musician, I still would think that visiting old songs is a little like visiting an old friend, to see how he/she is the same, what changed and what is new. I'm glad for the update and think this is a more memorable version. Oh, and about visiting old friends, you find out how you've changed, too.

Lauren O'Connell Yeah, that's a good way to put it. It's like finding that you can relate to an old friend in new ways. And thanks! I'm glad you like it.

Lauren O'Connell Hey Timothy, thanks! The tab for Chicken Wire is on this page: http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/search.php?search_type=title&value=lauren+oconnell So stoked you want to learn it! Most of the tabs/chords for my songs on Ultimate-Guitar were transcribed by me, so they're generally accurate.

William Smith There is just something about your acoustic music that really blows me away. It sounded absolutely amazing when you toured with Nataly Dawn. Julia and yourself should do living room shows together!

Lauren O'Connell Hey John, thank you! Ugh, sorry! I forgot to post the download. I've gotta get better at that. I'll post it right now.

Lauren O'Connell Hey Shawn! Blargh I'm sorry, I forgot to post the download, and I didn't see this comment until now. Posting it right now. Hopefully Patreon will allow me to integrate it in the creation post at some point. I didn't post a download for "Dear Someone" because that creation was for Graham's page.

Daniel Webster Delicate and endearing. A fine cover to be sure. Ever considered doing a Lyle Lovett cover?

Gaylon Vickers Iconic songwriters like Springsteen are rare. Here's hoping we can add you name to that list some day.

William Smith You always cover songs from bands that sound pretty obscure (or maybe I dont have my finger on the pulse of indie music) how do you find such bands?! this cover is so killer!

David Mencarini Just catching up on stuff and enjoyed this song for the first time today. Nice job and good choice for a cover. Hard to miss on a Jayhawks song. Great band.

Tim Sessanna I love both the Big Star original and Elliott's cover (which I think I heard on the Thumbsucker soundtrack), and this is true to how I imagined you'd do it. :) Thanks Lauren <33

David Mencarini Very nice version. I will have to seek out the Elliott Smith version. Big Star is a very under-appreciated band from the early 70's. Thanks Lauren.

Stephen Mesa Wow, this is incredibly done! I have listened to it many many times now. You've totally done it justice. Side note: this may sound absurd, but my brand new son was super fussy and crying when I turned this on and it mesmerized him! Your music is so magical it soothes crying babies!
