Welcome back to the Guest Sessions here on the Guitar Bucket List acoustic cover songs music video blog! Today’s video comes from Glennon Williams of St. Louis, MO, who records under the moniker Gnarsh.

Glennon focuses on overlooked artists he likes, playing most of the instruments himself with friends joining in on drums and back-up vocals when they can. Here he takes on “Take It Easy” by Archie James Cavanaugh — and get this, Archie’s granddaughter found the video on YouTube and sent Glennon a t-shirt and CD in thanks!

Check out Glennon Williams’ take on Archie James Cavanaugh’s “Take It Easy”:

I really enjoyed the feel of this one — it’s always a treat to discover a great overlooked songwriter through a cover like this. Let me know what you think in the comments! Stay tuned for more Guest Sessions videos as the weeks roll on.

Welcome back to the Guest Sessions here on the Guitar Bucket List acoustic cover songs music video blog! Today’s video comes from Lídia Piermatiri, who sent in her acoustic take on a modern classic.

Lídia’s version of “Crazy” by Gnarls Barkley slows the song down and strips it back, giving it a whole new emotional weight. It’s a lovely, intimate performance.
