I doubted I would really enjoy a cover of this classic, and a lyric-less one to boot? Nah. However, I gave it a shot (it was free), and I'm happy I did. Excellent production. Sounds like what Eric Clapton might have done with this if asked to make an instrumental version. The lead guitar almost seems to sing the words in places - its got that wha-wha tone - with another great guitar carrying the main melodic/rhythmic line of the original. Brian Tarquin's skill is really amazing, a wee bit busy here and there, but never overwhelming. I like the way the keyboards get a chance to shine, too, later in the cut. I listened to the Clapton version I have from The Cream of Clapton afterward, and the original actually suffered a bit in comparison (but I think that could be the fault of the production - it sounded a bit empty) - maybe there's a better cut by Clapton out there than the one I own.Get more detail about Sunshine Of Your Love.
