Several days ago, Misha started fooling around with a song I previously uploaded called She's Gone.

I thought his rendition was pretty creative, so I thought I would share it with you...
I don't know what all he used on it...
In a email he said "I only ran through synths, mixed couple of things and found real drums."

I hope you enjoy his version as much as I did.

Hi Jim and Misha,

This was a really nice performance. And I like the donkey. It lookes like (s)he was singing the words with Mishas' voice. I can put myself in this situation (not being the donkey, of course).
So, it's a nice piece of work, you both!

Bye,
Hans

Creative, fun listen. Funny video.

The drums are mixed especially nicely.

Quite the pair, you two. I guess nothing should surprise me around these parts, but this was a big, fun listen the way rockabilly was intended.

Thank you everybody who mentioned my part in this! Jim gets 95% credit on this tune (Composition, Lyrics, Video!)
I always wanted to try Western style song, but genre is a bit tricky for me. When Jim posted this, I knew I had to try it smile In reality, I believe Jim sung this way better than I did. I felt it would not be interesting trying to imitate Jim's vocal nuances as it will diminish already nicely written song, so I just had some fun with it and it gave me a chance to try something different. Thank you Jim!

Misha.

Yes indeed. I agree wholeheartedly with J&B. This is a terrific listen. The vocals are excellent, the arrangement is ear-friendly and very catchy and the video is really nice touch.

Definitely a great collaboration!

All the best,
Noel

Jim & Misha,
Love the humour in the lyrics. I might have said this before- Misha, sometimes you sound so much like the legendary Viv Stanshall ( Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band). Good fun to listen to your wacky style here.
Nice background vocals/sounds... and that donkey!

Ray...
I didn't even notice it before you mentioned it...
This is a question for Misha... I would only be guessing...
But I do know he said in Cabin Fever Dreams
He was experimenting with his vocals.
