I sent this to my dear mother, since it’s her favorite song. She has no idea who Slow Joe is, nor that I have any involvement in this shithole. Her words, quoted exactly:
“Oooh I love that song!! I don’t understand why this man sings though, is he famous for something else? He can play a chord or two but he sings like he’s had a stroke, and that face! Is he a short-bus man”? [our local terminology for adult retard]
I love my Mom so I told her he’s a local man who survived a traumatic brain injury. She bought it.

This is one of my favorite songs of all time. Objectively, is not a good cover.

Sings with his face cuz his voice stinks. Also has zero sense of phrasing.

Heh. Croce’s family was from S Italy too. Take from that what you will.
I can’t believe Joe felt the need to fucking butcher this beautiful song.
