I think he sounds better than the originals on "Southern Cross" and "Mexico."

I couldn't agee more...Sometimes when I'm listening music other than Jimmy, I think of how Jimmy might cover a Sinatra tune (please don't give me that version of Jimmy and Francis doing "Mack the Knife"...Bobby D is still spinning in his grave) Summer Wind is one I always think of...

rickcrystal · Post by **rickcrystal** » April 6, 2003 7:51 pm

summer winds would be great!!!

kitty · Post by **kitty** » April 6, 2003 10:04 pm

Brown Eyed Girl will always be mu fav for obvious reasons!

He would sound great doing "walking in memphis" (marc cohn)

I can't believe it...Jimmy covered a Hiatt song? My dream has come true!

Hope he does that at the Nashville show!
