Just a bit of fun messing around with style/genre. Reckon I could make bluesy versions of all my songs 🤣 Let me know what you think ❤️ (Note: kids screaming in background were having fun- nothing to worry about 😁)

The Devil Crept In/The Ballad of Billy McGrew- RobinRendell/TonyRidgway cover by Catherine McCrystal

Where do I even begin? The honour I feel being allowed to cover this song by Robin Rendell. This one spoke to me because I'm fond of the melancholy and love a good murder ballad (not really sure what that says about me) so I asked Robin if I could give it a go. Hope I've done it justice. This version heavily inspired by Tony Ridgway's recording, which you should also check out! The words are Ro...

Your cover is very good. Les disques de Mark Lanegan et Isobel Campbell sont vraiment bon. And a nice clip for this song :) Mark did also a beautiful cover of a Gun-Club song... th-cam.com/video/nDoYWWUw2T8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=098zt7RRr0Q8D2LL
Yes- I love it too and did a cover a few years ago 😊 th-cam.com/video/ivbT0jZstSo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=JF9nEynvvnqQcCEy
Great cover👍😎
@@paulnicodemus this is a blast from the past! Thanks for listening 🤟
Great song 👍😎

Excellent 👍😎
@@paulnicodemus thanks 🤩
Great lyrics, sung with real feeling, well done
Thank you Cas
Super song full of emotion and thought .Lovely preformed singing and guitar as one.Big Well done.
Thanks so much- it means a lot! 😊
Noted. 😝. But seriously, great writing!
@@Diecastclassicist 🤣 Thank you 😁
Love this Catherine xx
Thanks Maire 😊
Musical notes, META love the elude etude
😂 Thank you 😊
I've listened a couple of times, Catherine, and it's most certainly a song that expects me to listen again, my good friend. It's a song that draws me in and takes me to a very interesting place. There's a wonderful depth to the lyric and I like that a lot. You write in a rhythmically liberated way, and I like that a lot also. Your melody is in perfect tune with your words. Your vocal and guitar capture the essence of the lyric, capture inner strength through resignation. That is quality, that is talent. Big respect from me, Catherine. I can see why you like your song as much as you do.
Thank you, Robin- it's funny because the process for me is usually music first then lyrics, but with this one it was the reverse, so maybe that's something I need to explore some more
@@catherinemccrystal9391 With the exception of one song, Catherine, I think I've only ever written words first. I find it very difficult to do it the other way. If exploration brings you more treasures like this one, go for it, my good friend.
Very beautiful 👍😎 excellent original
Thank you 😊
I wrote you a note and sent it with you Its contents elude me but the feeling isn't dead Now I write a note and sing it for you A way to ease the clutter in my head I write notes on the backs of envelopes They're messy and imperfect but they're mine They help me to make sense of something bigger To help ideas withstand the test of time I wrote you a note and sent it with you Its contents elude me but the feeling isn't dead Now I write a note and sing it for you A way to ease the clutter in my head My mind's an unreliable narrator It dwells on what it wants to and no more But notes and melodies assist its healing And help to break the cycle at its core I wrote you a note and sent it with you Its contents elude me but the feeling isn't dead Now I write a note and sing it for you A way to ease the clutter in my head A way to ease the clutter in my head Lyrics Copyright © Catherine McCrystal January 2025
Love the words, Catherine.
@@robinrendellwordman8182 thank you so much 😊
The sweeter original version is a treat too !!!!
Great version, nicely done

Into the Fear No time to wilt and fall No space to disappear Seems with these things unknown You won't give in to the fear Worked out who's not so strong I guess I never could tell Talked to the know-it-alls But they've got nothing to sell Finally figured out Without so much as a thought Just what you sickened over Was not the thing you sought Lyrics Copyright © Catherine McCrystal
Sounds great !!! Love this bluesy groove .... Pity there are no lyrics because my English level is too bad to understand all the words. :)

I copied and pasted the lyrics for you from the other non-blues version ❤
@@catherinemccrystal9391 Thanks so much !!!!!!!!!! The lyrics are good as the music !!!! Love your voice !!! 👏👏👏
Excellent cover !!! Wonderful singing and nicely played !!! 👏👏👏
Thank you ❤
Well sung and played.
Thank you for listening 😊
Indeedy deedy do I like this? Oh indeedy deedy I do, Catherine. Suits you, my good friend, you wear this song exceptionally well. More cool runnings effortlessly worked into the song. You rock them. Songs work when the performer is at ease with the performance, and my ears and eyes tell me you are with this one. I like very much, Catherine. Seems scarves are in; i wore mine this morning. 😊
@@robinrendellwordman8182 you've got a good inkling, Robin (can one have a good inkling??)- I am very comfortable with this one as I've been singing it for years- I used to do it with my bluegrass band 😊 And scarves are essential at the minute ❄️☃️
@@catherinemccrystal9391 I don't have many, Catherine. 😀 It's been a three-coater here for the past week. The scarf? I thought to myself; Rendell, I said, the scarf will make you look hip and cool. Turns out I need much more than a scarf. lol
Very nicely covered👍😎
Thanks Paul 🤩
I love it
@@byrdfynger 🙌 It's a great song. Especially for a deep, gravelly voice 😁
Yes, absolutely yes. Wonderful.
@@Diecastclassicist thank you!
Your singing voice is really beautiful! All the best wishes in 2025! Thank you for sharing! I enjoyed watching it until the end. Wishing you all the best in the new year, dear friend🎉❤💕✨
Back for another listen. Liking the downward chord run (is that a technical term?) on the guitar, Catherine.
@@robinrendellwordman8182 it's maybe not the technical term but it's exactly the term I'd use 😁 I like it too- thanks!
Thoughtful song
Thank you 😊
I am a great believer in a good tweak, Catherine. I can’t tell you how many times I have tweaked a song immediately after I’ve gone public with it. lol😊 It’s almost as if it’s part of the process. Songs evolve as we perform them, till we feel easy in their company. This song, my good friend, is a song that would help elevate any songwriter to the top of their art. You deserve to feel easy in its company.
One minute the sky is on fire, the next it fades like a bruise I keep looking up hoping answers will fall down Then I spend the rest of my day wandering around just staring at my shoes Afraid to look anyone in the eye in case I drown An abandoned cup of coffee sits as I try to make sense of this world 'Work hard' we're told and 'you'll achieve all of your dreams' Sorry that's the biggest pile of bullshit that I think I ever heard Compare the many empty pockets to the few busting at the seams 'Count your blessings' we're told countless times, and just shove those feelings down 'What do you have to complain about anyway?' Crying about your problems doesn't make the world go round So 'just smile', 'be nice' and everything will be OK Don't ask questions, don't push back, and accept things as they are Cos you might hurt someone's feelings, God forbid Don't mess with the status quo, don't examine the 'rules' too hard Don't poke the bear, don't you dare to lift the lid Copyright © Catherine McCrystal January 2025
If this were my song, Catherine, and I was doing a gig, I’d include this version of this song in my set. It is, as they say, a cracker, my good friend. Some cool vocal runnings. 😊 lol
Good cool vesion.Well done
Wow! More, please!
Works well more bluesy
How could I forget, BLUES
No capo
Miracles do happen 😂
