Country troubadour Brent Cobb got Rocky Mountain high for cover of Tom Pettys You Dont Know How It Feels, delivering a sun-dappled performance of the classic hit in Telluride, Colorado, in a newly posted installment of his ongoing Meat and Potatoes Sessions warm-up videos.
Playing back-porch style if ones back porch happens to include a breathtaking mountain vista the gorgeous clip was filmed in August of 2018, a few months after Pettys death. With Cobbs Georgian drawl adding an extra layer to Pettys deep-thinking slacker vibe, the ultra-relaxed performance finds Cobb and his band going mostly acoustic and gathering around a single microphone placed on top of a pine-covered ridge. A slippery slide guitar and a five-gallon bucket serving as a drum help bring the songs laid-back melody to life, with a banjo jumping in to provide the memorably melodic bridge.
Recorded for Pettys 1994 solo outingWildflowers, You Dont Know How It Feels went to Number One on Billboards Mainstream Rock Chart. Cobbs Sucker For a Good Time Tour kicked off in Atlanta on Thursday, and will roll on through March 30th in Louisville, Kentucky.
