Picked this from the $2 bins on a whim. It had several songs I knew but had never heard these renditions. Really enjoying the vocals and soulful versions of classic songs.

One of my favorite moments of the GNR concert I went to in the 1990s was when Axl was at the piano playing this song and we were about 7 rows up from the piano. It was my teenage dream come true seeing my favorite band in concert!! 🎸🎸🎸
