Re: Question for Joe

From the interview:

Tom: Why revisit "Around the Bend"?

Joe: I hated the original version that I did. I felt like I had this really beautiful song that Will Jennings and I had put together and I had completely blown it. Some people might like it better than the new one, but I hated the original version that I recorded for Had to Cry Today. It's always been stuck in my head that I missed the boat on that song. When I listen to the original it sounds like half-assed blues-rock. We were kind of in this head-space of doing a worldly version, but nobody really knew what they were doing. The song really is an acoustic song, not electric. We just needed an acoustic guitar to build around the vocals, and that's what Kevin did.
