You have a very nice voice.
It's not too "slow or weird" at all. Carbon-copy covers are a dime-a-dozen, creative re-interpretations are much more impressive when done well, and you nailed it.
I also agree with the comments about the Crosby-esque sound. (That's a good thing, IMO.) The tuning you used gives it that feel.
Bravo.
I'm with Miles, Layla 1.0 should have remained untouched instead of unplugged. We're not alone; I recall reading a quote from Pete Townsend which I would paraphrase as "If I have to hear that *&$# skiffle-version of Layla one more time I will pull my hair out." (He must have heard it again, his hair is gone now…) ;)

PS: Dark Bar, what geetar is that and what tuning did you use? |

db, you own that song now, GREAT interpretation. |

Wait until you hear the final version. I have big plans for it. Wish I knew something about recording!

| Tuning is EADGAD I was gonna say it almost sounded like Dsus4 tuning, but that low E threw me off.
After we're done with the move & I have my new man cave/studio set up, you'll need to come up and we'll record it. |

Location: Flahdaw | Well, it's not really EADGAD cause the guitar is already tuned 2 steps down, THEN the 1st and 2nd strings are dropped again. hehehe (can you say loose and jangley) |
