My dear River, you are brilliant. It is unbelievable how you cover such a wide range of songs What a cover❣ Now I am listening to your channel over and over again, your variety is hard to believe. Black is still my favorite video (including the sweater😉) and so are your wonderful instrumental pieces. Just keep going....
it’s funny I came across this. I knew Kurt and his dad really good. I am from Aberdeen Washington. His dad was a tow truck driver at a local Chevron gas station in Aberdeen Wa we used to run around together and do some drinking in bars.I also knew Kurt‘s grandpa.. I actually taught Kurt how to play stairway to heaven on the guitar at Roseveers music store that was in downtown Aberdeen. You did one hell of a job on this.. Thanks
Man, thanks so much for sharing this story! That’s awesome ☺️ Like millions of teenagers Kurt was my absolute idol in the early 90s. So cool that you knew him and his family. All the best for 2025! Cheers.
Your guitar playing is great, you keep the rhythm and the feel and intent of the song while not overpowering the singing, such great balance between your singing and the playing!

Haven't seen seen anyone cover nirvana this good since Shaun Morgan from seether. Not even just nirvana, all the grunge covers ive heard are amazing while also putting your own spin on it. Great job man.
Amazing, man! Thanks for sharing. That said, people on social media are constantly triyng to nail a comment and get thousands of likes. So boring to see...
Congratulations, friend, once again you have done it masterfully. Pure grunge voice that you are born with, you don't do it no matter how much you practice. You can play all the songs of that style that you want. My most sincere and heartfelt congratulations. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏.... 😁😁😁👋
Crazy how you can pull off Cobain, Staley, Weiland etc vocal styles without changing your voice at all. Man was born to play grunge
Check out Natew101 for a very similar talent, I think he may have changed his channel name but should find it with that search
It's really impressive. Perfert vocal timing does that.
The guitar catches you, and the voice drags you to a peaceful place.
100% the best cover on TH-cam.
I dont even see the cover and i agree with
I'm feeling the spirit...
My dear River, you are brilliant. It is unbelievable how you cover such a wide range of songs What a cover❣

What a ridiculously hard cover to pull off solo acoustic. Fantastic job. Love what you do sir 🫶
Yet another amazing cover. You never cease to amaze. Would love to see you do a live gig here in Texas!
Can’t imagine a better cover than this. Absolutely nailed it
That left pinky could carry home the groceries all by itself.

Wow - stunning!
Cheers from Germany
This is really nice, man. Going from Nirvana's full sound to something spare like this and having it work isn't easy.
Nice cover River, grunge is definitely your comfort spot.
As a cover musician of 30 years, this is straight up fire 🔥
Thank you for doing what you do. It's a pleasure listening to you play and sing.
Thanks, dear Jesus, this is absolutely swell.
I was looking up this song acoustically last night and rn you did a cover ! Bless ur heart shape box
More Nirvana and AIC, yeah !
Got me wrong would be great, for sure
SUPER Wow River my big music friend...this is...
Im back in 90s again. THANK YOU!!!
What a great arrangement. Dynamics are intimate on the verses and they capture the hard rock feel everywhere else... Thank you for sharing.
What a fantastic cover! Takes me back to when I was a teenager.
One of the very first Nirvana songs you taught me a long long time ago ❤.
Max, my old friend 🙏
@rivercrombie glad to see you and happy you're doing well, you're killing it on here with these excellent videos.
Just to make things clear, I have no complaints. Excellent job, Mr. Crombie.😀
Your guitar playing is great, you keep the rhythm and the feel and intent of the song while not overpowering the singing, such great balance between your singing and the playing!
maybe a hard compliment but I found this cover a little better then the original version - long live Nirvana - great job, really great job
Blasphemy.
Killer. Love the down-tuning on this one.
Outstanding! Thanks for keeping it alive and honoring Cobain. I’m sure he’s proud and smiling right now.
Great job! So many details for a one-man cover, love it!
This man is so good
Unreal, love your work!
Your stuff is absolutely fantastic man. Thanks for doing what you do ♥️♥️♥️ 👂🏻 🎶
What a voice! Thank you for that!
Wow! This is bloody good. Cheers River
Softly raw. Non pretencious sound... Simple and pure!
River Crombie is a refreshing wind, turning back from 90's rock chapter.
How come 2024 and i just found your chanel ... Sir ,You were so good and deserves alot more subcriber

Meat-eating orchids forgive no one just yet
Cut myself on angel hair and baby's breath

Throw down your umbilical noose so I can climb right back

Excellent cover. Love the tone - maybe it's just me, or maybe because it's acoustic, but it sounds like it's just slightly lower than the original.
