KANSAS "Carry On Wayward Son" - one-take lead vocal (+ harmonies) runthrough/cover by Dave Couper

Dave Couper (formerly bassist of CALIGULA'S HORSE) covers the vocal parts of KANSAS's "Carry On Wayward Son", from the album "Leftoverture" (c) 1975 Kirshner Records/Epic Records/CBS Records.

Video recorded on a Samsung Galaxy 9+ phone. Vocal audio recorded into Cubase Pro 10 with a cheap AKG microphone. Recorded a one-take lead vocal part for the song, then did the doubling parts, followed by the harmonies. Added reverb, compression, and tweaked the EQs. No plugin-based tuning whatsoever, although on reflection I was a little sharp on the middle harmony at the end of the intro! If you rate the runthrough, comment here about other classic prog and rock songs you reckon you'd like to hear me cover. This one had to get an early run, for sure. If you don't rate it, give me your funniest comment/roast as to why. I don't expect everyone to love this rendition, and I sincerely hope for a multitude of reactions. If anything, I look like I'm hiding a roast under my lovely Cambodian elephant shirt. If I can excise that roast, my overly-fast mid-range vibrato on my soft voice might calm down a bit more readily... Told you the next one wouldn't be Dream Theater ;) Also, how good were the early seasons of "Supernatural", am I right?! Luv, Coups
