What a great version of this song, you don't want to end!

The greatest compliment for a song to be redone is stick to the bones of it, for those of us who are nostalgic of our own memories, and have the other foot in a journey you want to take us on. Quinn, instead of the usual fret calisthenics, racing trying to impress us with his speed, slowed it down mid stream, coaxed it and, with the keyboard interplay, created a beautiful rendition. At 62 years old, and hearing countless renditions of this song, this is the BEST version I have ever heard, period.

Clapton should invite Quinn to the next Crossroads festival

[CarnivoreguyScott]

Very cool version of an iconic song. If it’s done right, It can definitely give you chills. Props to these young dudes for playing real music with real feeling, the whole band shines on this one.

[MiguelJimenez-wx]

Wooow This boys are not playing, They are dead serious about music. FANTASTIC . Maybe the best version of this song I ever heard. SUPER NICE

Channeling Clapton, Santana and Betts in one amazing cut! Wishing Quinn the best - an awesome talent.

[stephenwicks]

Fantastic! Just amazing! Been watching you since you were 7 yrs old with Buddy Guy!!!!

[markmckelvey]

probably watch this once a week. so good.

[timedwards]

Quinn, I have followed you for YEARS! You have a Great Clapton sound! I've been trying for years, but no comparison to what (and how) you play! Keep on rocking and I'll be watching!😁🤘🎸

[neddoyle]

I hear the influences in his playing, including Carlos Santana among others. The young man has studied the greats of the 70’s for sure!!!

[talatmahmood]

Crushed it man...what a genius...love it.

[scott]

Just pure 🎶💕💙 and what a tribute to rock or blues 💙 as should be played absolutely 🌹💕💙

[ronhoffman]

This is so great Eric would be stunded at how great an interpidation this is of his song better than he could do !!!!

[claymor]

Shout out to the band, all right on their game on this.

[petelovett]

Beautiful - bit of a Derek Trucks influence in there, so clever....his interaction with his mate on keys shows they've known each other and played together for a long time, and long may it continue. Mr Sullivan deserves to be huge...

[jodypaulson]

I've been following you since you were like, six. Big fan!

[vaughnhunkele]

Watched this cover for the first time, I’m officially a fan. Well done

Been loving Quinn since he was about 9. Of his many gifts, honoring the players before him with his styling is paramount. His feel and nuance always seem guided by the likes of Buddy, Clapton, BB, Albert and others- but the Betts twist in this solo is so beautifully woven into the fabric, it is mesmerizing.

[hobbyjay]

well, Quinn's prove there's shortcut to the stars with that age.... sureal talent. thank you Buddy Guy for giving that kid a stage....

[oregontrail]

One thing that always impresses me is when a guitarist doesn't have to look at the fretboard while soloing. Much like Clapton that way. Excellent job, the whole band!
